Our news org did an investigation into this as well, and also demonstrated how a simple HackRF could be used to fool most modern GPS receivers: https://nrkbeta.no/2017/09/18/gps-freaking-out-maybe-youre-t...

Not at this point, no. We went into detail on Telia and Telenors analytical platforms last year, though. Should still be up to date: https://nrkbeta.no/2019/10/11/telia-og-telenor-selger-analys...

> The article assumes that the location data must have been collected because he gave an app permission to access his location. I bet they couldn’t figure out which app it was because it wasn’t an app.
I worked on this story (and the others, we're still publishing [1] [2]).
The dataset we bought from Tamoco didn't contain an app name for most of the data. So instead of guessing, we're open about the fact that we don't quite know. Which is sort of the issue here – there's not a lot of transparency around what is collected and by whom.
The Norwegian Data Protection Agency (DPA) has opened an investigation into Tamoco [2] after our first story, and they want to cooperate with the UK DPA.

Understood. Google Translate does a formidable job of rendering the story in English, so I’ve resubmitted the translation.

Also check out Lygte Info[1], the site of a Dane who checks chargers and batteries usually bought from the Chinese sites like Banggood and AliExpress. Spoiler: Not all of them are bad.
