VICE: Military Unit That Conducts Drone Strikes Bought Location Data From Ordinary Apps
The 132d Wing of the Iowa National Guard bought Locate X, a product that lets users search by a specific area to see which devices were present.
A division of the Iowa Air National Guard that carries out overseas intelligence missions, performs reconnaissance, and conducts strikes with Reaper drones recently bought access to location data harvested from ordinary apps installed on peoples' smartphones, Motherboard has found.
The tool, called Locate X, lets users search by a specific area and see which devices were present in that location at a particular point in time.
WNU Editor: Almost everyone in the world today carries a smart phone with apps. Including those who are in the cross-hairs of the US military.
