Voter Targeting, Location Data, and You

Presented at DEF CON 30 (2022), Aug. 13, 2022, 12:45 p.m. (50 minutes)

Voter targeting firms use “microtargeting” to help campaigns target individual voters to get them to go vote (or stay home and not vote). Data brokers buy your location data from scummy apps and resell it in bulk, claiming the data is anonymized. Now, location data brokers are giving these voter targeting firms unfettered access to the non-anonymized location data of hundreds of millions of voters to further this chicanery.
