The Secret Service has used a technology called Locate X which uses location data harvested from ordinary apps installed on phones. Because users agreed to an opaque terms of service page, the Secret Service believes it doesn't need a warrant.

          There should be an edit function on a comment. Of course clients and federation vary.

            Apologies, those last two sentences were unnecessary and rude.

            There is but I didn’t want to visibly edit the comment 14 hours (or however long) after I made it.

            Hope that’s ok with you and a good enough reason for my choice. Or do you have more ‘advice’?
