    Surveillance to Local Police <https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/08/inside-fog-data-science-secretive-company-selling-mass-surveillance-local-police>

    EFF staff put together a series on Fog Data Science, a data broker that has been selling raw location data about individual people to federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies. This personal data isn't gathered from cell phone towers or tech giants like Google-it's obtained by the broker via thousands of different apps on Android and iOS app stores as part of the larger location data marketplace.
