This sounds both thoughtful and interesting. I'll certainly share a few things I've learned about or picked up over the years there one of these days. I found one or two things out watching these phone and computer tips and tricks videos on TikTok over the years.
Although I will say, dude, the examples with the corrupt cop framing you and all was wild. Lol nice one. Curious how you thought of a scenario that randomly detailed.

There was literally a news report in the last couple of days of a NYPD cop who was fined for harassing a local resident because the resident lodged a formal complaint that the cops were parking their personal cars illegally. The cop harrassed him for 10 months - cops often think they're above the law.
In regards to cmplxty's specific example of cell data used to accuse people of crimes based on their device location data - this has been used for years by law enforcement Source. You can totally get in trouble if you just happened to be in the same area as a crime...
Glad I'm not the only one keeping up with this type of stuff dude. It's pretty wild how complex it is and how little people are aware of it. With lots of these stories people gloss over the fact of how much information is available on people and how quickly and easily it's handed over.
The line is always to improve the finding of bad actors but yet 2 people got close enough to shoot a presidential candidate, one actually hitting him but it wasn't prevented. Lots more could be said about that itself but that's a conversation for another day.
Yeah, I saw a social media post this morning about a guy in a Cybertruck that was caught on camera hitting a parked car and running off... and it only took the people on a subreddit two hours to track him down after the footage was posted. It is extremely wild how much information about us is public (that we've likely volunteered ourselves).
The secret service is doing a terrible job... but I will say that the ranges on some of these scoped rifles does make their task extremely difficult, especially outdoors.
Ahh so this is a universal thing, huh? It's similar to what happens in Ghana. Unless police see you dressed and carrying yourself in a way that suggests you're a powerful person, you'll receive all forms harrasment from them on the road.
I'm not sure if my country utilizes this in solving crime, but it sounds like quite an innovative way to pin criminals (aside the abuse it and likely false accusations that might be associated with it too). It doesn't sound accurate or okay to arrest someone just off their pinging their phone in a certain area at a certain time, but if multiple evidences point in the direction of someone, then cell towers can likely help confirm.
It's so common in the world we live in today that I have just picked out a few random ones that stuck out to me to be honest lol.
One of the things I'll be posting about is the privacy cancer that is the Tok. They are SO egregious in their privacy violations that it's shocking people don't get mad about it. The challenge with that as well is there are other apps that aren't as egregious in being obvious but collect the same type of info.
I'm just glad that you are aware of it to some extent! We need to raise awareness of this so much more for the future of the world, and that's no joke.
I don't think it's that people are not mad about it. I think it's that people don't understand what exactly can be done with the data that is being collected. ~Many~ People feel like the data collected of them on these social platforms is inconsequential in the grand scheme of things, so they just hit "Agree" and "Allow" on every popup.
Yhp. I'm obviously no expert, but I think I'm relatively a lot more woke about these things compared to some of the people around me, and that's a good thing. I try to spread the word as often as I get the chance to, but many people just don't seem to get the point at all because they're just one small Toker or Xer or whatever the platform is.
