Tim is right. Terrorism has been an excuse by government's to turn into big brother and invade our privacy. And the new modern 'internet' is designed around tracking people for ads.
Its nice that Apple not only has great customer service but takes customer's privacy seriously. |

Android's business model is to give the software (and in the case of the Nexus devices, hardware) away for free and capture as much value through the use of the device. It doesn't take a rocket surgeon to see which of these is inherently geared towards tracking users. |

Look, if you have a smartphone, no matter the OS on it, you are being tracked for at least marketing purposes. It's easy to test, send yourself an email some time with a message body with something totally off the wall for you. Guess what, you will get targeted advertising based on that messages. I did it with Google, even before I got an android phone.

Supposedly iMessage supports end-to-end encryption.
This means that your iMessages cannot be read in transit, even by Apple. I guess they "could" add a device, real or simulated, to your account and, at the same time, suppress notifications of that device being added to start intercepting messages, but I am still more comfortable with them than the other guys. |

Anyone requesting sources is either sorely behind the times or in fan boy denial.
There is no privacy in the mainstream, commercial world. Serious geeks can create niches, but they're fleeting. Your option for privacy is to not put private information on networks. Period. If your phone is turned on your privacy is already limited before you even place a call or send a text. Deal with it, it's not changing. No network data is totally secure, especially over the air, and even if your content is secure the act of transmitting and receiving reveals information about you. Apple can have a very nice privacy policy, which is great PR, but technological and legal realities supersede their niceties on the regular. |

Ayup.
Look, if you are that concerned, turn off EVERYTHING on the phone and use it as.... a phone. It's not like they force you to install, activate, and use every single tracked feature. A lot of it is enabled by default but you can turn it all off. Now. Having said that.... Regardless of your ability to tailor your privacy settings, if you think that your phone can't be used against you regardless of how you have it set up, I've got some land on Mars you'd be interested in owning.

Same with phones, even dumb-phones, let alone smartphones. The govt doesn't even need to go to any effort to do this; they just let commercial interests do it, and then if they become interested in you, they buy it, take it, whatever. The point is that the govt doesn't need to track you since you are pretty effectively already tracked/data managed already. They can get the info if they want to. The best you can do is to either a) not use said devices/services (which can be pretty inconvenient, b) suck it up and accept it, or c) make an effort to corrupt their databases. Go look at weird shit that will screw up their profiles on you to the point where they are useless. Corrupt their stored data, have fun with it. |

You all might as well just get used to the idea that EVERYTHING you do online, is tracked, collated, analyzed, and used in an attempt to market you (get to know you better).

Look, if you have a smartphone, no matter the OS on it, you are being tracked for at least marketing purposes. It's easy to test, send yourself an email some time with a message body with something totally off the wall for you. Guess what, you will get targeted advertising based on that messages. I did it with Google, even before I got an android phone. Google openly admits the track everything you do and reads all of your emails. For that reason, I do not use google at all.

Join arf.com and counter it with DU. search for Glock, then search for the Brady Campaign For everything you do, also do the opposite. It's hard to profile that. |

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/apple/11441265/Terrorists-should-be-eliminated-says-Apples-Tim-Cook.html Exclusive interview: Apple's chief executive Tim Cook explains to Allister Heath why the threat of terrorism should not scaremonger citizens into giving up their privacy...The chief executive of Apple is a radical privacy advocate and was on the last leg of a trip to Europe and Israel where he discussed this issue extensively. In an exclusive interview with The Telegraph, Cook said that it is clear that there are many instances of people’s information being "trafficked around” and that this is something his company abhorred.
At the moment, however, consumers often "don’t fully understand what is going on", he added. "One day they will, and will be very offended.”... I know there is a lot of Apple hate and a lot of Apple love around here, what do you think? I know the .gov hates their phones because the cannot crack them and Apple told the to fuck off. |
