Drones aren’t just for the NSA and the FBI. Advertisers are now getting into the drone game by using them to spy on your cell phone data! How is that possible?
AdNear, a Singapore-based advertising firm, is collecting data via Wi-Fi and cellular transmission signals using small drones flying around the San Fernando Valley in California. The purpose is to deliver hyper-targeted advertisements to users using the gathered user information. While the collected data doesn’t include conversations or personally identifiable information, it is clear that more explicit regulations for privacy need to be in place.
