I am horrified even though I dont live in the usaI only bought a mobile phone for conveniance I think that now I will stop carrying it
Does this also apply to Australia

I have long suspected this. Bob, I suggest you take this on as a campaign. Get in front of representatives and act as our spokesperson. You would surely become a national figure. If nothing else, the experience would give you fodder for many new articles.
Thanks for your insight.

Correction:

"...caught by leaking the real-time locations of nearly every cellphone user in the world. Anyone on the Internet could track any phone served by AT&T, Verizon, T-mobile, or Sprint..."

The U.S. is NOT the WORLD!

The clients of AT&T, Verizon, T-mobile, and Sprint constitute only a few percents of the world's cellphone users.

I love the oft-used canned statement by people who say "I don't do anything illegal, so I don't care about my privacy!" Many of these people are the same types who are willing to give up their privacy for the sake of convenience! Then, there are those writers who work under the "Do as I say, not as I do" M.O.
Even if US was to construct a GDPR-type 'digital bill of rights'; our lack of privacy would not change one 'bit'.
