— What does T corporation have to do with it?

[rakhirhif8963]

Johann! Good afternoon, colleagues!

- Yes, he must be very kind, since you both came to us, not even wanting to discuss the issue over a closed connection.

- Alas, you are right. Recently, there has been a surge in terrorist cell activity in the capital of the empire. Recently, we have been receiving more and more news about a possible terrorist attack in the metro.

- And how can we help you?

— I would like to understand with your help where exactly this could happen.

- But how? What do you have for today?

— We have several mobile numbers that could belong to potential terrorists. But we can’t track their routes in the metro. And if we could, we would probably be able to draw some conclusions.

- Okay. I don't think it's that difficult. How much time do we have?

— A week. Can you provide data for a week?

- Let's try.

A week has passed.

- Mr. Director. We are ready to provide you with the routes of the numbers of interest not only for this week, but also for the previous two. Unfortunately, T Corporation does not store data on movements for more than two weeks.


— It’s simple. They officially collect data on the location of metro users and sell it to third parties. When they created this project, the goal was to collect anonymous data to better latvia mobile database how people move along metro lines and improve the service based on this data. Now the corporation is considering the possibility of tracking passengers on an ongoing basis. The only way for a user to avoid surveillance is to turn off Wi-Fi or phone.

— So, we will be able to track passengers in the subway?

— And not only that. We will be able to do the same on the streets, in large shopping centers, shops, restaurants and cafes. But keep in mind that we will only be able to track those whose smartphones work with Wi-Fi turned on. Even if they do not connect to wireless networks.

Do you still believe in privacy? Alas, the situation described is true. Transport for London (TfL) plans to earn £322 million by collecting location data on metro users and selling it to third parties.
