Are you implying it's illegal to do that? It seems like the whole point of the article is that this is entirely legal.

It sounds like congressmen and senators explicitly voted to prevent the FCC from making things like this illegal.

Wow thank you! :)

>is that this is entirely legal

Activists can be jailed for doing even actually obviously legal things...

What other companies purchase phone geo tracking that provide it online. Would polling congressmen's public assessible location be ok if provided online?
