Got a source for that, please? ( not that I doubt you, just only seen "unspecified time" and "short period of time" and nothing saying one overwrites the previous one)?
Good choice of reading,,,, there's a good editorial on theregister about the legality of even collection, let alone using data harvested from a phone, since it is covered by different laws than, say, a computer, since it falls under the telecommunications act
It looks like Google, Apply, and Microsoft are all making money off of us just carring our devices around. I want my roralty check please.
Notice the a and the b? This is clever way of creating a preconception of order or importance. The letter A comes before B so therefore your mind associates the statement labeled A more important than the statement labeled B. But if you look at the statement labeled B you see that if an application request location data your location data will be logged.
Do you not realize we have satellites that circle the Earth everyday that can zoom in and read your tag number on your car? Any kind of updated information they need for mapping purposes can be obtained by using numerous satellites that or orbiting our planet. Heck this is how the first maps that Google and Being made where put together, why change how they do it?
Please define free......really! If you take into account you are losing your right to privacy, then no it is not free. You are losing more than just your right to privacy too, but that is for a far more in depth discussion.
This is true you can find out numerous things about someone if you know how to do the proper research on someone. But just because you can do it does not mean it is right. This mundane acceptance of things that people know logically is not right but is still accepted because of the mentality of, "Oh well that is just the way it is so I have to accept it". To me this is pure crap and just people further conforming to the molds and ideals that have been set in place by the the before mentioned "Big Brother" groups. If society refuses to except something it will never be, but if society excepts it then it is thought of as the norm and never questioned. Also just because I question these practices I should not be able to enjoy the advantages of modern technology? I do not agree with this statement, technology is suppose to make life easier not used to control the masses, and that is what this location tracking is all about. Do not get it twisted.
Again with the free service, come on man really. Just because they say it is just location information does not mean that is so. I mean there is no limit to the amount of information that can be harvested from your device or computer without your knowledge and no trace of what information was harvested or how, when, and who harvested it. Apple, Google, and Microsoft have just now come to light the amount of location tracking they are doing even though anyone that reads the T&C's our sets up their smartphone should know some location tracking is going on. But we are now aware of the massive scale it is being done. So no telling what else we do not is being collected yet. i am positive we will see more come to light, but it will be via the internet not mainstream media I promise you that.
