@nprofile1q... > knowing the GDID gave the FBI a history of IP addresses that his device had accessed over time.

How? How are these GDIDs captured and transmitted/stored in such a way that they can be correlated with IP addresses?

I’m still baffled by the mechanism used to do this. Like, something is transmitting and logging these GDIDs. What process is doing it?
