Inside the U.S. Government-Bought Tool That Can Track Phones at Abortion Clinics (www.404media.co)

Privacy advocates got access to Locate X, a phone tracking tool which multiple U.S. agencies have bought access to, and showed me and other journalists exactly what it was capable of. Tracking a phone from one state to another to an abortion clinic. Multiple places of worship. A school. Following a likely juror to a residence. And all of this tracking is possible without a warrant, and instead just a few clicks of a mouse.

It is, but the USA hasn't cared since Snowden.
