US military disables mobile ad tracking
U.S. military officials reported that the American military has disabled ad tracking identifiers on mobile phones and computers to protect its soldiers from data exploitation, particularly amid concerns that such data could be used to target troops in war zones. These measures were implemented two months ago on Windows computers and since February 2026 on Android and Apple devices. This step is part of efforts to reduce the collection and sharing of location data that could be used to track service members, although experts warn of the potential for tracking through other means. Members of Congress are calling for more stringent investigations into these security risks.
