Nowdays, it is possible to obtain a target's
location information even if the GPS function
on their smart phone is turned off.
By tracking GPS date, it is possible to profile
where someone is, what they are doing, their
working hours, and their daily behavior
patterns.
The NSA has backdoors into platforms like
Facebook and Apple. It is highly likely that X
has also provided a backdoor to the NSA.
If one can access information from Facebook,
it is possible to create a relational map of a
person's social connections.
Even just seeing where someone gives a like
is enough to profile what they are interested
in or what they empathize with.
All information stored on internet-connected
cloud services is being stolen. Information
hacked by the NSA is shared with the CIA and
the FBI. These agencies work in coordination
with each other.
This is not about targeted individuals. It concerns the general public as a whole.
