"When you sign up for wireless service you may realize that your provider has to be able to know where you are so that it can serve you...What you don’t expect is for your provider to sell your location data to anyone with your phone number and a few dollars to spend." -@lauramoy pic.twitter.com/26z6Iw9epi

By sharing this data with aggregators, location-based services companies, and other unauthorized individuals, these companies have enabled bounty hunters and stalkers.

The Center, with @freepress and @OTI, has filed a complaint with the @FCC over wireless service carriers’ failure to protect their customers’ location data. These carriers have disclosed sensitive data to a whole host of actors without customer consent.

Last year, @harrisonsethdc warned that DHS had not codified its stated privacy and civil liberties protections for people whose biometrics were stored in their databases. We are now seeing the consequences of this.

MYTH: The FBI only uses face recognition for law enforcement purposes, when they have reasonable suspicion.
REALITY: The FBI can run face searches to detect crime based only on allegations or information.

MYTH: The FBI doesn’t need to test for false positives in its own system because they only use it for investigative leads anyways.
REALITY: In the field, “investigative lead only” can often mean positive ID.
