And todays privacy violation is ... Stalker Apps

'Stalking apps' could be banned in US

 

 It would also outlaw apps from collecting or sharing location data without the consent of the owner.

"But right now, companies - some legitimate, some sleazy - are collecting your or your child's location and selling it to ad companies or who knows who else." 

 

The joy of it all. Your phone that you paid probably hundreds of dollars for (doesn't work on cheapie phones that can't run apps !) is probably spying on you. And your kid. Sometimes just for commercial gain (spamming you with ads) , and sometimes because your ex boyfriend / girlfriend is stalking you. 

Fun fun fun. 

 Don't you love modern technology ? It's no longer big brother you must panic over. It's now your ex's and your over bearing mother or father as well.
