Remember that telecommunications act that passed in the early 2000s, I wonder if that had anything to do with this.
Act, in question, Obama's wiretapping flip-flop? Yes

And how do consumers make enough noise? Twitter??
If telcos track and sell your location to whoever, do they make a sound
Sounds like the invisible hand is already moving...
Verizon is about
for keeping their promise to protect data... if consumers really care.“We take the privacy and security of our customers’ information very seriously and will not tolerate any misuse of our customers’ data,” A T-Mobile spokesperson told Motherboard in an emailed statement. “While T-Mobile does not have a direct relationship with Microbilt, our vendor Zumigo was working with them and has confirmed with us that they have already shut down all transmission of T-Mobile data. T-Mobile has also blocked access to device location data for any request submitted by Zumigo on behalf of Microbilt as an additional precaution.”
Microbilt’s product documentation suggests the phone location service works on all mobile networks, however the middleman was unable or unwilling to conduct a search for a Verizon device. Verizon did not respond to a request for comment.
AT&T told Motherboard it has cut access to Microbilt as the company investigates.
“We only permit the sharing of location when a customer gives permission for cases like fraud prevention or emergency roadside assistance, or when required by law,” the AT&T spokesperson said.

Only $$$ changes things in this country.
That shyt is supposed to be crazy illegal. If youre operating as a utility you have privilegs but you also have to adhere to special laws. This is why people were so pissed off about Congress revoking net neutrality. It basically means your internet traffic is a commodity of the ISP.

They can say whatever they want. It’s all nonsense. Government has access either through cell tower pinging or through the backdoors that these companies secrectly gave them. I don’t trust Verizon or T-Mobile to tell the truth about how they violate our privacy 24/7
govt gonna govt

I hope you dont believe that
Your cell phone will still "ping" when turned off..
You can be found if they want you.
I had a cousin that got stabbed in the head and left in the woods...Her cell phone was around her when they were looking for her - for hours. They found her even though her phone was dead and in the creek water next to her
Man I thought I was good at keeping my life anonymous then I found a website the other day with all my current info.
I just sat there like damn....
I had come several website before where I had these suckers thinking I lived at xyz address for years, but this website I found the other day, really had all my current shyt.
nothing personal but I haven't missed you at all
I’ve missed you...You always went straight for the jugular.
Put your phone in somebody else's name then and you can't be tracked.
