The Horn News | How the FBI used Google data to arrest 1,575 people
On January 6th, 2021, 1000's gathered in Washington D.C.
Within weeks, the FBI arrested over 1,575 people.
How did they find them?
Their phones told the FBI exactly where they were.
The FBI didn't hack anyone's smartphone. They didn't need warrants.
They just asked Google for a list.
It's called a "geofence warrant."
The FBI draws a digital boundary around a location. The Capitol building, for example.
Then they ask Google: "Which phones were inside this boundary on January 6th between 1 PM and 4 PM?"
Google hands over the list. 1000's of names with complete location history showing exactly where each person went.
Most people arrested had no idea their phones were tracking them. They deleted photos. Stayed away from social media. Kept their heads down.
But their phones kept a complete record. And Google handed it over.
I'm not discussing the politics of January 6th.
What matters is the method.
Geofence warrants are used 1000's of times a year. For protests. Rallies. Public gatherings.
Any time law enforcement wants to know who was in a specific location, they ask Google.
The smartphone you're reading this on right at this moment is creating that list.
Every place you go. Every building you enter. Everything logged, timestamped, stored on Google's servers.
It doesn't matter if you disabled location settings. Your smartphone is still tracking you through cell towers, WiFi networks, Bluetooth connections.
The government can retrieve it with a single inquiry to Google.
You don't have to do anything wrong to end up on a list. You just have to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
A protest turns violent three blocks away? Your smartphone puts you at the scene.
Someone commits a crime near where you visited? You're in the area.
Your smartphone proves you were there. And you're on a list.
That's why I use The Ghostphone.
It's powered by GrapheneOS. The most secure mobile operating system available. Configured by security veterans with 15+ years of surveillance industry experience.
No Google tracking. No location logging. No data feeding the surveillance machine.
Works like a normal smartphone. Calls, texts, apps. But it doesn't create evidence against you.
Don't wait until your smartphone puts you on a list.
Stay safe,
