Metafilter picked up my thing about retooling existing location tracking into a tool for the CDC. I have to say the caliber of the discussion is pretty disappointing.https://www.metafilter.com/186216/Idlewords-What-we-need-is-a-massive-surveillance-program …
Just based on watching my iPhone live map as I walk, it's considerably more accurate than that, but I welcome details from people who know the technology well

Sorry for the perhaps basic question: That's with your GPS receiver as well as wifi and bt location tracking turned off? I think iOS has a "track even when shut off" feature too; I know Android does. But I also am pretty sure maps apps wouldn't use cell tower triangulation.

I'm not talking about cell tower triangulation, though. I'm talking about the phone snitching on you to the Feds
