Whisper executive says tracking happens, but the data isn’t exact

The Guardian published a story on how the anonymous secret sharing app, Whisper, was actually tracking users despite claims to the contrary. Whisper CTO, Chad DePue, said that the story was “really bad reporting” and that the data collected with regard to location isn’t fully accurate. The Guardian said Whisper has developed an in-house mapping tool that can filter and search GPS data, pinpointing messages within 500 meters from where they were sent. This allows the company to monitor all geo-located data with a given area.”]
