My understanding is that individual cell location data is actually protected by some court case, that's why the pigs love big tech... they don't need a warrant, they got a guy on the inside processing their request based on "trust me bro, daddy sam needs this data"

They don't need a warrant because rules are for those of us who are ruled.

Their all scamming. Because praise the almighty dollar. Its like making a decent product to rob the owner. Trojan scam practices. Vote with your wallet people.
