Saw that...shyt is crazy.

No doubt about it. Many many many people have been killed by this vulnerability. We will never know how many, and maybe they were going to get got one way or another. But considering this was available to private detectives and other underworld type figures, it’s a certainty that people are dying behind this.

You can for the GPS, but this is calculated based on the cell towers so you can't disable this or you just wouldnt have service
if this is true, then I wonder why there are only 3 telecommunication companies mentioned? I would expect the article to generically reference the industry, since they all use cell towers, unless I'm wrong about that

Ultimately, if consumers were that bothered by it, it would end promptly.

If enough noise is made about it, I expect the named corporations to end the practice on their own.

Lol cmon now. They’ve been doing this shyt in secret for decades. No amount of public rage is gonna take away telco and governments abilities to track each and every one of us.
