The United States government is reportedly tracking American citizens through mobile ads instead of carrier location data to check the spread of coronavirus.

According to a report by The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is working with local and state governments to track the location of people situated in “areas of geographic interest.”

The location data is coming from “an ad hoc coalition of tech companies and data providers” reportedly working in conjunction with the White House and other governments.
