Privacy: Apple's iOS7 traces your every move
Posted: 02 Jul 2014, 12:02
Apples new operating system for iGadgets traces your every move. Apple has closed source and lots of conditions that you must accept before you can use their products.
These conditions can be changed at any time which makes it hard to follow what you have to put up with.
Apple does frequently change the conditions, so it is virtually impossible to keep track of - and that is not in you interest.
It is designed to be in Apples interest - something they can and will use in court if it serves their purpose.
The latest OS iOS7 has a new function that keeps track of all your moves and can provide "handy" information like you most frequently visited locations.
Since you obviously always forget where you go; Frequent locations will remind you
What a service! Where has that been all our lives?
Obviously you would not remember to turn on a handy service like that so Apple has done it for you; well you are the one forgetting things.
In the iPhone settings under Privacy->Location Services->System Services you can find a map that shows all the places you frequently visit.
Here you can turn it off - which you should do - immediately
It keeps track of your movement profile (location and time tracking) without you knowing anything.
Think about it?
Do you need your phone to tell you where you have been?
You know that you visit that SM Gay club every Wednesday and that you have that Tea party every Friday .
Others may have much more use of that than you. And that is the big question mark:
Who else can see this?
Apple can, and therefor the NSA can if they so desire. Especially if you are a "foreigner" - like Norwegian, Canadian, Australian, German, British, French, Italian etc.
I have to admit that it would be a great idea to give every criminal in the world an iPhone for free - that way we will always know where they are at any given point in time.
Even if you have turned off the service; other Apps like the Facebook app can start the localization service.
So don't use the" who is in a Toilet near me" Apps
Here is Apples presentation of it:
As you can see they have considered the tiniest details - including this one which makes them untrustworthy.
They should have turned this service off by default - and if you have Alzheimer; you can turn it on - if you can remember where your phone is.....
