>25 MILLION EV drivers in Britain were spied on by the government through their mobile phones for 2 years!
>Some Customers had their mobile internet history and app records passed to the government if they visited a site related to EVs once a month on at least 2 occasions.
>“At the DfT’s request, O2 trawled people’s web browsing habits, including those of children, to identify “EV users”. This included passengers as well as drivers. It then tracked those people’s physical movements around the country and sent “anonymised and aggregated” data to the government”
