  1. I'm curious if anyone has successfully got information from the NYPD's internet user data dragnet--the "Internet Attribution Management Infrastructure"--under NY's Freedom of Information law? www1.nyc.gov/site/nypd/about/about-nypd/policy/post-act.page

      I did not realize that the NYPD has fake cell towers they can use to find people by simulating a cell and trawling for device identifiers. www1.nyc.gov/assets/nypd/downloads/pdf/public_information/post-final/cell-site-simulators-nypd-Impact-and-use-policy_4.9.21_final.pdf

        Wild that not only does the NYPD use full on ad-tech-style fingerprinting to track people, but acknowledges it has to track its own officers because such a "digital footprint" is so accessible that criminals could also use it to out undercover operatives. www1.nyc.gov/assets/nypd/downloads/pdf/public_information/post-final/internet-attribution-management-infrastructure-nypd-impact-and-use-policy_4.9.21_final.pdf

          How is it that the NYPD released this information under the POST Act last year but this one tweet and link is basically the entirety of coverage on the NYPD's "Internet Attribution Management Infrastructure" justinhendrix/1364205768334049283

            You'd think the news that the NYPD was formally leveraging the ad tech panopticon would be ... uhhh ... news.
