Your Phone Is Spying On You

Read this on Yahoo... This may go just a tad far with invading privacy. Just a tad you know...

...and people call me crazy when I say that Facebook and Cell Phones do what the Stasi wishes they were able to do...  glad I've never owned either.

(Idiot to the media:  I didn't get a job because my employer looked at my facebook and found out I smoke crack!  Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aa)

I have Facebook and a smart phone.. I never post anything on Facebook that I don't want the whole world to know (Which means I rarely ever post on FB).

My smart phone though is my life. If I'm not at work I'm on it, I do everything with it so it's rather creepy to know they can see just about everything i do on it.



I wouldn't be suprised if somebody gets sued for this. Something that invades your privacy as much as this isn't legal..

Depends on the itty bitty words in your contract. Also, thankfully I haven't owned a phone in 6 months, lol.

hmm I have several non-carrier branded android dev phones, I'll check them out see if this is 'bundled' software that is installed by the carrier instead of the OEM.

If anyone thinks that they can live a completely "private" life in this age of technology, they are sadly mistaken.

The average New-Yorker shows up on camera ~ 75 times/day.

The average Londoner?   Almost twice as many times.

These are just two examples...

From what I hear most of the folks on facebook are clueless..... not all but most.

A friend of mine who loves tinfoilhattery and obsesses over everything green, PETAtastic, and rebelious, posted this on FaceBook a few days ago...irony at its finest. In any case, my reply was that I tend to live my life more like this. In summary, this guy was told by the FBI that he'd be monitored for a while, and instead he now broadcasts almost his entire life on his website with updates ranging from simple coordinates and statuses to picture and video feeds from his camera.

You cannot hide yourselves these days. I'm growing up in this world...may as well get used to it.
Google my username, you'll see everything I've ever done on the internet, minus three sites. One of which should be easily linked to this username if enough digging was done. If it does something to damage something in my future, then that isn't a future I want to hassle with anyway.

 i believe i read an article that stated that certain android phones have it too.

 the only way to be even remotely private on a cell phone, is to buy one off the shelf at target, pay cash for it, and reload the minutes as you go. also, never give that number to anyone, and be sure to block it when you make a call.

Burner phones from gas stations and big warehouse stores are the way to go if you want to stay off the grid. Sometimes you just gotta stay one step ahead of the bad guys so you don't get burned.
