Members of Congress are asking the Federal Trade Commission to investigate the mobile ad industry’s practice of covertly tracking consumers, including attendees of Black Lives Matter protests

The complaint sent to the FTC on Friday cites a little-known practice of using what is called “bidstream” data derived from the ads that appear on websites

and in mobile applications to obtain sensitive information about consumers that can include their real-world locations and information about their age and gender.
