ATF Ends Webloc Surveillance Pilot | Mesa News
Published 3 weeks, 2 days ago
Description
ATF has shut down its pilot program using Webloc, a surveillance tool that tracked users’ locations via apps and ad networks without warrants, calling it ineffective for crime-fighting. The tool, originally developed in Israel and later acquired by a U.S. firm, was also used by the military and ICE. ATF says it doesn’t meet their needs and won’t pursue similar ad-tech surveillance methods.
