Demographic report on protests shows how much info our phones give away

Data analytics company Mobilewalla released a report detailing the race, age and gender breakdowns of individuals who participated in protests in select cities during the weekend of May 29th.

Mobilewalla “observed” a total of 16,902 devices. What is especially disturbing is that protestors likely had no idea that the tech company was using location data harvested from their devices.
