US lawmakers are investigating a company that sells people's phone location data to the FBI

Now, Reps. Caroline Maloney and Mark DeSaulnier haveto Venntel demanding more information about the company's full list of clients and its data sources. The letter was also signed by Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Ron Wyden.

"We seek information about your company's provision of consumer location data to federal government agencies for law enforcement purposes without a warrant and for any other purposes, including in connection with the response to the coronavirus crisis," wrote the letter's authors. "The vast majority of Americans carry cell phones with apps capable of collecting precise location information 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

When people's smartphone location data is tracked, that data is tied to an anonymous identifier rather than to personally identifying information. Butthat it's easy to "de-anonymize" this data by connecting it with other data points — for example, seeing where a device stays overnight and connecting that with a person's home address — raising the possibility that location data could be used to keep tabs on individuals' movements.

It's our data....no one has rights to sell it without our consent. This is absurd
