Make no mistake, this is 100% going to be Comcast’s alternative to more expensive surveillance options a la Flock, or workplace presence sensor arrays.
Regardless of the basic privacy invasion that we all know Comcast is doing. Buy your own cable modem and router. Comcast charges you to use theirs, so they pay for themselves in a couple years.
The Dark Knight surveillance tech is real life now. We’re screwed.
If anyone didn’t already know, this isn’t anything new. It’s basically just WiGLE but not public level, and is using that to track devices coming and going.
You don’t need Xfinity WiFi to do this. Everything you have with a BT or WiFi antenna is already out there and everyone can see it. It’s logged and recorded. Can literally see my neighbour’s got two iPhones moving around right now and I didn’t even get out of bed. Oh, they also have a JBL Encore Essential… That explains something that happened last week.
