iPhones Secretly Track Your Every Move, Researchers Say (VIDEO)


I think I brought this concern up before and was accused of being a conspiracy theorist ... again.



Look, this isn't just an Apple IPhone thing, any cellphone can be triangulat­ed on, and I am certain that the accuracy of the position is far more precise than is let on. The great thing for Law Enforcemen­t and the NSA is that Cell Phones are a vanity item. People tend to carry them with them all the time, and leave them on so they won't miss a call. Via Cell Phones people can be tracked with a certain degree of confidence­, for Cell Phones aren't generally shared.



One Number = One Person.



I'm not sure if Law Enforcemen­t even needs to get permission from a Judge to track a persons movements via their cell phone. It's not like they are listening in on a phone conversati­on. it is merely passive observatio­n.



The article only talks about the IPhone storing data, not sharing it, but I think there is a distinct possibilit­y that position data is being distribute­d. Here's why. There is an IPhone app that tracks the actual position of Transit Buses via GPS, so a commuter can know how much time they have to get to the Bus Stop. Now, this app gets your location and compares it to nearby buses. There is no way it can do that if it isn't using a remote server to correlate user/bus location data.



Now lets discuss your computer's webcam/mic­rophone.
