I know that every time it comes out that the government is monitoring people, in any way, there is a MASSIVE public outcry. However, Iphone does it, and while it does get mentioned on CNN there is no public outcry, there haven't been any relevant statements from apple....really nothing...I find this whole thing kind of ironic as well, considering their infamous TV smashing commercial.
Anywho, my question is, do we have some kind of double standard for businesses that we don't see as part of the "man" that allows them to get away with things that we would lose our composure if it was the government, or Wal-mart or some other institution considered the "man"?
i dont see why its a big deal on why they know where your at..i could see it being a big deal if they could use the phone to see through the camera on the iphone to see what ur doing but sense people are always telling others where there at on facebook so i dont see any wrong with it
I agree, in a sense. I see many people writing EVERYTHING about them in facebook and, later, being disappointed if someone read what they wrote. If you don't want other people to know what you are doing... don't tell them. If you don't want your iPhone too spy you.., don't buy it, or find a way to modify it, if it's legal.
The difference between the phone automatically collecting data on your location, and you posting on facebook is that YOU decided to post it on facebook. Someone didn't decide for you to put it on there.
It is legal to modify the aspect of the iphone that tracks your locations. The US courts ordered that once you own a phone you can jail break/root it if you so desire and the manufacture has no right to end your service

You're right. By the way... what kind of information could the get by watching you?
