    Google and all the other big data brokers are already doing this, why is this a big surprise. If I so cared and had the money for it I could get all that information to.

        How do you think the ad market works? If I wanted to advertise to X person that is very possible, how is this possible, you are giving off so much data all the time. I promise you that even though I am very careful with my internet hygiene; like using a separate email for everything, a pihole as my DNS to block ads and trackers, a vpn into my LAN, and then other apps to block tracking for other things the ad market can still profit off of me and my internet behaviours I just make it very damn hard. ICE however also has the telco data making it even easier; they talk to Google or whomever say they are looking for immigrants then they link that data with phone data and boom bam done capitalism hard at work.
