By Judge Herbert B. Dixon Jr. (Ret.) Tracking and surveillance are no longer the stuff of old espionage movies--the little black box covertly hidden underneath a car, a bug placed in a room, or an agent spying from the rooftop across the street. The most targeted surveillance subjects in the United States now voluntarily provide volumes of information that would amaze the clandestine agents of yesteryear. I am referring to that ever-present device that you rarely leave home without--your cell phone--an electronic gadget that constantly yields digital location data about your daily movements and travels. https://www.americanbar.org/groups/judicial/publications/judges_journal/2020/summer/your-cell-phone-a-spy/ -- Bill Horne Telecom Digest Moderator ------------------------------ Message-ID: <86wo04c9v8.fsf@telecom2018.csail.mit.edu> Date: 6 Oct 2020 03:27:07 +0000 From: Moderator <telecomdigestsubmissions@remove-this.telecom-digest.org> Subject: AT&T plan for advertising subsidized cellphones hits Senate roadblock U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal on Friday called on AT&T Inc to stop pursuing plans to offer cellphone plans partially subsidized by advertising that he said would undermine consumer privacy. https://www.foxbusiness.com/media/att-plan-for-advertising-subsidized-cellphone-hits-senate-roadblock -- Bill Horne Telecom Digest Moderator ------------------------------ Message-ID: <86tuv5aidw.fsf@telecom2018.csail.mit.edu> Date: 7 Oct 2020 20:30:35 +0000 From: Moderator <telecomdigestsubmissions@remove-this.telecom-digest.org> Subject: No Free Lunch: The Global Privacy Expectations of Video Teleconference Providers by Lisa R.
