In a collaborative effort, Apple and Google have developed an industry-standard detection feature called “Detecting Unwanted Location Trackers” (DULT) for Bluetooth trackers. This standard allows users on iOS and Android devices to be alerted if an unknown Bluetooth tracker is monitoring their location.
Aren’t most of the data the NSA collects from third parties like Google and Apple who already sell that data? can’t anybody theoretically buy that data if its being sold? much like the mobile US carrier’s were doing
My gut tells me they only sell in bulk, you can’t just request your ex girlfriends dataset
My guess is that they don’t sell to none incorporated entities at all.
Google is buying your data, not selling it. They use it to make their ad platform more effective, and selling the data would just help their competitors.
The NSA does collect data from third parties like Google, but not just anyone can buy it from them.
