My impression from the article is more that they're not doing any kind of garbage-in assessment: nobody is making sure they're getting answers about the right person (eg: some women date more than one guy) and some women don't feel safe giving accurate answers to the police, and there aren't good failsafes available for when it's wrong; you're forced to hire legal counsel and pursue a change via the courts.

Not in the same detailed minute-by-minute tracking of where you've been.

They're also buying tracking data from phone apps, so you'd need to make sure you're not running any of those either.

The metropolitan area of 22 million gets about a quarter of its water from a system that is running dry. Some say it could be unable to provide water by June 26.

They cut the size, but not the price. Then they increase the price six months later.
