Donald Trump’s campaign is deploying Phunware phone location-tracking technology

⚠️Also, a detail not in the Intercept article, but you’ll never guess:

Brittany Kaiser is on Phunware’s Advisory Board.

How did Intercept miss this detail? Whoops.
Fair to assume Parscale and Oz are matching device location for retargeting to registered Democrats in swing states attending MAGA rallies. (Very doubtful any Dem campaign is matching device location IDs DMP’d to voter files to retarget non-Dems attending campaign events.)
This analysis tries to suggest that Trump and his opponents are engaged in the same voter surveillance tactics to track and match voters by location but I‘m skeptical as it overestimates how much the Dem machine has caught up to GOP’s invasive tactics. vox.com/recode/2019/12…
More details about Phunware, location data, and the Trump campaign. (They claimed to have beaten out Salesforce for the gig?) slate.com/technology/201…

In Xinjiang, Chinese police at checkpoints force Uighers to install an app to track their behavior patterns for social control.

In American Universities, administrators force students to install an app to track their behavior patterns for social control.

The solution here is not a covert surveillance dragnet training third-party black box data models. The solution here is a simple electronic mobile device check-in UX where attendance tracking is overt, transparent, and accountable, not camouflaged. Like signing a sheet of paper.
Who needs academic freedom when the algo can tell you what to research to optimize enrollment projections? Same algo pings your dean that you can handle another committee assignment after mining your edu Google Drive, email responsiveness, and geofencing.

Compare to the Mercer’s Cambridge Analytica/SCL which was subject to UK corporate transparency and data protection laws pursuant to US elections. Bloomberg’s political technology machine enjoys the secrecy and unaccountability that US law provides.
The concern is that plutocrats don’t play by the same rules as everyone else.
The problem of running government or a campaign like a business is perfectly illustrated here. Businesspeople try to get away with saving money at any cost and it’s only customers, regulators, and journalists that get in the way of getting away with it.

New Yorkers, Let’s work together and help Albany defeat the industry lobby and pass the NY Privacy Act next year. #S5642 nysenate.gov/legislation/bi…
In case you missed it, I wrote a guide of sorts for PAPER’s #BreakTheInternet issue to help you escape creepy ads, build up your data privacy defenses, and pep talk you into getting involved in the battle to demand your #datarights in the USA. papermag.com/escaping-the-a…
A common thread between this new Privacy Project piece and my PAPER piece is that consumers have been gaslit into surveillance capitalism using consent without rights as a cudgel. Industry deceptions that location data is “anonymous” lead to catastrophes like Cambridge Analytica.

And that technology looks quite creepy tracking, for instance how often someone attends a Catholic Church (that should help ad targeting and triggering.)

Geofencing can show how long someone spends shopping in a particular clothing store, nightclub, protest rally.

Oh boy. They would be disappointed with my data.

Trump's been roasting Congress since 1993 lol
the first half hehe

Trump has been the same person ever since he's been in public eye, and yet, the American people still elected him...

When will the Democrats learn?
1999 - Roger Stone talked about the decision of Donald Trump to form a presidential exploratory committee. He focused on Trump’s membership in the Reform party, & Trump’s agenda for his campaign.

#Trump campaign #BradPascale in #Romania makes me ponder a few questions:
🤔
-Using trip to influence US Romania emigrant voters?
-Purpose is to offer #socialmedia manipulation advice for #EU May vote?
-Perfect opportunity to meet with other election manipulators in the region?

Could Romanian media influence Romanian American voters?
As Romanian immigrants in America steadily increase, the population of Romanian voters might be heavily influenced by the strong ties to political and religious opinions held by leaders in Romania.

Me for @BylineTimes on just some of the many revelations from @DamianCollins and @CommonsCMS landmark final report on Disinformation - especially what it reveals about the Trump Russia Brexit connection bylinetimes.com/2019/02/18/exp…
As @DavidLammy says of the explosive #DCMS report “the scale and depth of malicious disinformation and foreign interference this report uncovers demands an urgent response from the Prime Minister on behalf of the British government.”
“It is now blindingly obvious that we need a criminal investigation – equivalent to the US’ Mueller inquiry – to investigate any possible links between the 2016 Leave campaign, Donald Trump’s campaign team and Russia,” @DavidLammy told the @BylineTimes
