ATF Ends Webloc Surveillance Pilot | Mesa News

ATF has shut down its pilot program using Webloc, a surveillance tool that tracked users’ locations via apps and ad networks without warrants, calling it ineffective for crime-fighting.

ATF says it doesn’t meet their needs and won’t pursue similar ad-tech surveillance methods. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
