My worry is the people do take it for granted that collecting this data is ‘fine’.. And also in some cases defend the poistion of Apple / Google / Microsoft.. This is unbelievable..

Hm, now THAT should have been the first story–not that it’s your fault at all, but it’s a lot more juicy and presents something that seems shadier than, “your phone is keeping track of where you are while you are using its radios.” I like where this is going–just for the sake of interest, not because people’s safety/privacy is remotely at risk. To that end, I say, “leave your phone at home if you don’t want anyone to be able to reach you. That’s what we did in the 80s and through much of the 90s.”
