Quite an over view of this topic

I liked his final statement Talk About This !
Mr Hampton covered some of the ways Apple, Microsoft, and Google
have allowed National & International governments are responding and using
holes in data security against it Citizens personal transactions in various
data sweeping collections.
I was just reading about DHS has purchased two new apps, called
Tangles & Webloc , that allows them to see the recent location data of any
phone in a given area and cross-references it with commercial data sets.
Now if they want to see whose phone in any city was at a protest earlier
that day, DHS can, with no warrant. Just a touch of a button, and they can
access detailed data from ordinary cellphone apps, like Facebook or the weather,
then compile that data for an extremely detailed record of almost any phone users
activity.
