Cell carriers sell geofenced data about cell phones in an area at a given time to anyone. There's zero privacy.

KYC laws mean that his carrier has his name and email address and the feds probably got that without anyone informing the customer.

What about the find-my-phone BLE database, for which I just learned modern phones broadcast even when off? Is that controlled by the OS (Google, Apple) and not the carrier?
