Australian Gov"t Scooped Up Tons Of Cell Site Location Data To Track Citizens" Movements

This isn"t the work of an intelligence agency or a secretive law enforcement effort. Instead, it"s an (unannounced) partnership between the Australian Bureau of Statistics (which handles the Australian Census) and a cellphone service provider. The provider apparently willingly turned over cell site info without a court demand, government mandate, or consultation with its customers
