The link is pay walled.. so, let's work around that for those that aren't subscribers or cannot read it due to their geo-location. Real dangers of living under a surveillance state is being exemplified here.

Thanks for the link.

This site's paywall can also be bypassed on Firefox desktop browser by using an extension called No-Script Lite and setting it to pass through Styles and Images while blocking Scripts, Objects and Media.

Some guy was accused of a serious crime and sent to jail pending a trial.

As a condition for being released from jail before the trial, he and his family had to install monitoring software on their internet-capable devices, and the accused was banned from using the internet. The developer of that software explicitly says its not suitable for criminal justice work.

An investigative journalist for Wired tested the software and found that it was picking up internet traffic from background processes on their phone, which made it look like the journalist had recently visited a website that in fact he had only visited before installing the monitoring software but not after.

This isn't the only case where data collected by the unsuitable-for-purpose monitoring software has landed people in jail, despite the fact that the data it provides does not indicate whether the logged internet use happened before or after a court order is issued to not use the internet.
