Amazon’s Ring, the internet-connected doorbell gadget that lets you watch live video of your front porch through a phone app or website, has gained a reputation as the webcam that spies on you, @bxchen writes. Here’s how to protect yourself. nyti.ms/2HG8OY0

NEW: Remember the massive trove of commercially available cell phone location data @NYTimes revealed in December? @ByronTau and I found that the Department of Homeland Security bought the data in 2017 and has used it for immigration and border enforcement. wsj.com/articles/federal-age…

Google and YouTube have now also sent Clearview cease-and-desist letters but it sounds like the company does not plan to cease nor desist. Hoan Ton-That says Clearview is just doing what Google does, but for faces. cbsnews.com/news/clearview-a…

I’ve got a new poem in @nytimes today, as part of a (beautiful) interactive package for their Privacy Project. Thinking better about our intimacies with technology is really important to me, and I’m so glad I got to be part of this project.

New from the editorial board: The greatest trick technology companies ever played was persuading society to surveil itself.
How about bipartisan Congressional hearings on the data location industry to kick off 2020? @HawleyMO @SenMarkey nyti.ms/2PLuO8U

For today’s piece in the series we show how tracking affects a town. Teachers, nurses, scientists, cops. We tracked them all and then travelled to their doorsteps to show them. nytimes.com/interactive/2019…

New from @PrivacyProject: If a mobile phone is turned on, chances are its location is collected in a spreadsheet somewhere. What does it feel like to see that archive? @cwarzel and @stuartathompson went to Pasadena to find out. nyti.ms/2EICP86

“If you could see the full trove, you might never use your phone the same way again.” Anonymous sources shared a gigantic data file with the location data of more than 12 million Americans with The Times @PrivacyProject. This is what we discovered. nyti.ms/35I5ciR

Movements — down to a few feet — of President Trump’s entourage were recorded by a smartphone @PrivacyProject believes belongs to a secret service agent. That vulnerability is one many Americans share. nyti.ms/2SmBvA7

Every minute of every day, companies are logging people's movements and storing the information in gigantic data files.
The @PrivacyProject obtained one of the files.
It held more than 50 billion location pings from the phones of 12 million Americans. nyti.ms/34xuL4x

Here is what was in the data: More than 50 billion location pings from the phones of more than 12 million Americans, across several major cities. @stuartathompson and I then spent months reporting on how we are all tracked through apps on our phones. nytimes.com/interactive/2019…

7 months ago a source gave @nytopinion a trove of data. They were alarmed at what they'd seen. It sparked an investigation that sent us around the country from Mar-a-Lago to California. Tomorrow we'll start publishing what we found. It might change how you see your phone forever.
