A team headed by Whisper’s editor-in-chief, Neetzan Zimmerman, is closely monitoring users it believes are potentially newsworthy, delving into the history of their activity on the app and tracking their movements through the mapping tool. Among the many users currently being targeted are military personnel and individuals claiming to work at Yahoo, Disney and on Capitol Hill.
This paragraph may imply something more ominous, i.e. that users are being tracked despite geolocation being turned off...I'm assuming that's not the case...but would you say that the users in this scenario are aware that their data is being analyzed at this granular level for news and research purposes by third parties?
