Fun thing with location-data: PDs don't need to go to the phone manufacturers, operating-system owners, etc. If you're carrying a phone, they can get that data from your carrier.

…And that's if they aren't using IMSI-catchers to begin with (though, it's entirely possible that they'd use the IMSI-catcher to tell them which carrier or device/OS manufacturer to contact so they don't have to reveal that they were even using IMSI-catchers).

ALL true. A #Farraday case/sleeve or just powering down your #cellphone until you need it are easy ways around this.

But yeh: in general, we now need to take more and more steps to have the same amount of #privacy we’ve had previously. 

Turns out the #interconnected world and #internet comes with a few very strong disadvantages along with all of its advantages.
