I just left O2 in the UK because in their new terms they are storing and happy to share location data with other partners and government agencies.
When i called them to question it they couldnt answer questions on how this data was shared, who with and how it was secured. Given that banks can't keep their networks secure. I don't believe that a phone company will be able to the secure theirs. While banks are legally required to refund money and most hush it up to save face. If i get mugged, robbed because someone had access to the data and knew i wasnt home or i was walking down the street will the phone companies refund my insurance ?
Unless we are happy to be tracked wherever we go we need to tell these people that we arent interested in some features.
“The HD2 is a magnificent monster. It is a hulking, intimidating, massive slab of a gadget. If you think the device looks big in photos, it's nothing compared to how it seems up close.”
