NY Times article shows how feds could track everyone in DC who had a phone on January 6th

If you don't think the NY Times and Democrats are hell-bent on jailing conservatives, this article may open your eyes.  

A liberal thug gave the Times a batch of phone-company data that tracked several hundred phones in and around the capitol on Jan 6th.  Illegal, of course, but then again so was stealing the Pentagon Papers.  The Times couldn't care less about the law.

Short answer:  Unless you want to be tracked, delete all apps from your phone, and turn off all your GPS and location data.  And frankly that's probably not enough, as many tech guys have said the phones transmit your location even when GPS is turned off.  I've even read reports that some phones continue to transmit location even when the entire phone is turned off, though I haven't confirmed that.

"Wait," I hear my liberal friends saying, "that's nonsense!  Cuz, like, we didn't give 'em permission to do that, so it would be...(gasp!) illegal!"

So is stealing a presidential election, but that doesn't seem to have mattered, eh?  Even the f'n supreme court refused to hear the lawsuit brought by the state of Texas.  So if you believe the Behemoth companies would be deterred by something so flimsy, you're too dumb to breathe.

Plus there's very likely some fine-print in your phone company contract that's written in a language neither you nor any other adult can decipher (though the words are English, they're legalese) that says you agree as a a condition of using the phone that the phone can mumble mumble bullshit bullshit for network test purposes, definition of which can be found by simply coming into our office on Mars between the hours of noon and 12:01pm on any day except those ending in Y.

So if you really don't want to be tracked, leave your smart-phone at home.
