And the federal agent mentioned is shown to be part of the crowd. Sounds about right. Wonder how many were federal agents and not just actors.

It's interesting that they served Jewgle instead of the carrier of the device.
Although, I guess the location services in a modern device would have a better idea of where said device was at, the cellular network only really knows it's within a certain area talking to a tower. It could be narrowed based on handoff, but there's usually a decent amount of that going on in an urban area.

1) The BT data is going to be much more precise than the tower data.
2) $1000 says Google and Feds had prearranged agreement and they had the data even before it had been subpoened.

I think it's more like. 1) Google always knows where you are. Keeps track of it because they like to. 2) Google has a process for serving law enforcement. It's probably somewhat automated. At the very least they have a department that services these requests.

They do have an automated system that handles most of the in-bound requests. They've admitted that some time ago.
My bet stands on them having open comms with the Feds even before the Capitol FF.

I'm sure. Gruegle is a conduit to the three-letters.

There should be a data/privacy protection law requiring service providers such as google, to delete everything they have on you whenever you ask them to, provided you can prove your identity. With exceptions for ongoing legal cases and such. Some european countries have that already, it's not normal that those corporate entities are allowed to not only harvest but retain and sold whatever data they can get on you with or without your consent, without a possibility for you to have a say on the matter. And no, their BS TOS shouldn't be legally binding when it comes to that; why not a "by using our service you agree to renounce to all your legal rights and to become the property of google" clause while we're at it

I agree, but in this case consent was given by using the device and turning on location services.
I can guarantee you most people don't even realize how much data is being sent back to Google and Apple from their phones, although I give Apple some credit for making application vendors point out what kind of data they're collecting.

Mike Bazzell from Intel techniques had an interesting podcast about this. https://m.soundcloud.com/user-98066669/214-offensedefense-the-capitol-siege
Pretty much all those rolled up had shitty OPSEC, posted selfies on social media or had their real phones on them.

Looks like there are some legit "resistance" groups out there, though they were all probably either created or subverted by the fbi.

If you need/want a burner phone that's truly anonymous, it's a real pain in the ass and you'll need a prepaid visa and be willing to throw away about $480/year just to have a phone that sits around with no battery in it 24/7 until you're ready to use it nowhere near your home or job or anywhere that can help identify you.

- Don't take your phone with you when you're doing shit the government doesn't want you doing.
- Don't talk to people about doing shit the government doesn't want you doing.
If you must have your phone in case of emergency, you can make an improvised Farady cage with aluminum foil. Just fold yourself an envelop slight larger than your phone. Place phone inside and folder over the top so it's sealed inside. Wait about 10 seconds and try calling your phone. It's not reachable. Unwrap only in emergency.

While there are better privacy options out there, I rather have an iPhone for this reason.
