The carriers sold “real-time location information to data aggregators, allowing this highly sensitive data to wind up in the hands of bail-bond companies, bounty hunters, and other shady actors,” FCC Chair Jessica Rosenworcel said in a statement.
“Smartphones are always with us, and as a result these devices know where we are at any given moment,” Rosenworcel said. Citing the sensitivity of geolocation data, she added, “In the wrong hands, it can provide those who wish to do us harm the ability to locate us with pinpoint accuracy.”

That software is really handy, but that name is really awful. Every time I hear it, I think of neutering.
I think that’s the point and the inspiration for the name.
I swear, in general, open source software is absolutely fantastic. But open source developers have no concept of naming things in general and or user design in general. They make great software, but choose absolutely horrid names and or user interfaces.
I think it’s funny. They’re neutering the ads and tracking
They only changed a letter, and are essentially just shortening Not.
Nitter = Not Twitter Neuters = Not Reuters
I know what it means. It’s still a terrible name.
