The Public Health Agency admits it tracked 33 million mobile devices to monitor the population's movement during lockdowns, according to Blacklock's Reporter.
The agency says cell tower locators were used to "Understand the public's responsiveness during lockdown measures."
"Due to the urgency of the pandemic the Agency collected and used mobility data such as cell tower location data throughout the COVID-19 response," said agency spokesperson Mark Johnson.
It also comes following a federal contractors' notice that the agency will permanently introduce cell tower tracking.
"The agency will use mobility data to describe and analyze population-level trends," said Johnson.
"Mobility data cannot be used to track or monitor individuals."
The agency says those contractors must make sure information is "Cleaned and processed," and any "Demographic and population information" doesn't name individuals.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
