A new report reveals the capabilities of Locate X, a surveillance tool developed by Babel Street, which allows U.S. government agencies to track mobile phones without a warrant. Privacy advocates demonstrated the tool's functionality by geofencing an abortion clinic in Florida, where the procedure is legal, and tracing a device that originated from Alabama, where abortion is restricted. The demonstration highlighted the tool's ability to monitor individuals' movements across state lines, raising significant privacy concerns. The footage of these activities was leaked by privacy advocates, showcasing the extent of mobile tracking data available for purchase.
