Location Tracking App for Foreigners in Moscow
published on 2025-05-28 11:09:26 UTC by Bruce SchneierContent:
Russia is proposing a rule that all foreigners in Moscow install a tracking app on their phones.
Using a mobile application that all foreigners will have to install on their smartphones, the Russian state will receive the following information:
- Residence location
- Fingerprint
- Face photograph
- Real-time geo-location monitoring
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen this. Qatar did it in 2022 around the World Cup:
“After accepting the terms of these apps, moderators will have complete control of users’ devices,” he continued. “All personal content, the ability to edit it, share it, extract it as well as data from other apps on your device is in their hands. Moderators will even have the power to unlock users’ devices remotely.”
