    What could go wrong?

    FWIW, this seems ripe for data collection and field testing for free. (unless it’s a paid sub, then that’s worse)

    Exploiting abuse survivors to test a surveillance system is a new low —even for government. 🖕🏼

      I mean, reading the article, it’s specifically for victims of people who have court ordered ankle monitors. This isn’t like tracking non-convicted citizens… these individuals have been sentenced in a court of justice to having their privacy reduced by being tracked at all times, instead of being locked up in a prison cell. This is just notifying someone who has reason to need to know about data that’s available. I don’t have much problem with this…
