MODERATORS
I think the whole point is location tracking and identification. You figure if they want to go after a group of protestors, all they do is set up their tig near them and they'll instantly have every device in the immediate area that they can chase down. And let's be real here, they don't give two fucks about legality anymore, they're in full suppression mode. All the more reason to never bring a phone to a protest in the US.
If there are two or more cell towers within range of the phone and they have access to those towers they can triangulate the location of the phone already.
