Even if you have data tracking turned off, data from friends and even strangers can predict with surprising accuracy where you are and where you're going.
Sure, an individual can prevent their own devices collecting data about them, but the paper is about all the devices surrounding a person in other people’s pockets/homes/workplaces: collecting data on – recording – that individual.
Of course, yet if a device is running a security and privacy centered relatively uncommon operating system (Graphene) I’m hoping this would allow it to slip through the cracks most likely focused on collecting data from androids and iphones. Guess after typing it out its more clear how much of a stretch it is to hope this is the case but I still have some hope…
