Episode Details

The Pentagon just shut down ad tracking on military devices to shield troops from enemy surveillance — a bold move that blocks location data leaks that could expose soldiers’ movements, whether on the battlefield or at base. Already rolled out across all branches, including the Air Force’s July rollout, this is part of a bigger effort to keep service members off the radar of hostile actors. Senator Ron Wyden applauds the step but warns personal devices on bases still pose risks. Meanwhile, a jaw-dropping twist: U.S. intelligence agencies and the FBI are secretly buying the same location data they’re trying to protect — without warrants. It’s a stark reminder that while the military is tightening security, the broader battle over data privacy and surveillance continues to rage — and it’s far from over.
