?‼️Shocking documents reveal that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention purchased cellphone data on millions of Americans during the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure they complied with pandemic-related restrictions.

Motherboard, a technology news website, reported Tuesday that CDC documents show the agency spent $420,000 last year to purchase cellphone location data harvested from tens of million Americans.

The data was purchased from SafeGraph, which Motherboard described as a "highly controversial data broker." The information was "derived from at least 20 million active cellphone users per day across the United States". It provided "extremely accurate insights related to age, gender, race, citizenship status, income, and more." The purchase gave the CDC access to the data for one year.
