Green party politician Malte Spitz sued the German telecoms giant, Deutsche Telekom, to hand over the data recorded from his mobile phone on his whereabouts. The data revealed was stunning where the cellphone company has recorded and saved more than 35,000 location data from his mobile phone for the a period of six months which is about 78% of the time. It traced him where he worked, the cities he visited, the places he hang out , basically where he was at every moment of his life, in spite of that, Spitz never knew he was been tracked.
Spitz made the data available to a German newspaper Zeit Online who produced a striking interactive map of his daily activities.
