My Gmail privacy?
My Google Maps searches?
My Google Checkout purchases?
Picasa to share my photos?
I used every one of those services before my G1. Nothing's changed there.
The ONLY difference between my existing desktop privacy "loss" and my mobile privacy is that I opted-in for "anonymous" location tracking.

said by SLD:Oh, well, if you've been selling yourself out since the beginning, why stop now? I've just acknowledged that there are certain things I care about, and other things that I don't. When I care about privacy, I'll use proxies and anonymizers. The rest of the time, I just don't care. And there's nothing on my phone that I feel is "private".

I don't care what year it is. Franklin had it right 250 years ago.
Your lot is being herded into a whole world of shit, and you'll have no one to blame for it but yourselves. Unfortunately, your complacency is costing the rest of us who know better as well. |

Re: Do you really need it?!? Not to mention, being active in a public public forum isn't a threat to your privacy?
Only way to get away from "the man" is to hide under a rock these days. How I see it, I'm not doing anything wrong. What do I have to hide? If I get accused of doing something wrong, I have an alibi to prove that I wasn't doing something wrong. |
