SignalTrace “links devices that regularly travel together, correlating them to license plate.” It is a surveillance product that will sweep up and add all sorts of Bluetooth and other data to license plate readers, linking specific devices—and people—to cars.

        I actually realized this seconds before your notification came through- I was thinking mono factor authentication as another joke option for a second and then it clicked.

            Just getting content out fast? I’m not sure I approve. There’s a lot to be said for timelessness.

                See! Yes, it looks like lazy ad hominem on the surface, but use of the word ‘built’ gives it crispy flaky layers like an insulting croissant! Glad you came around!
