Apple collecting iPhone/iPad users real-time location

The L.A. Times reports that Apple is now collecting the “precise,” “real-time geographic location” of its users’ iPhones, iPads and computers.

The new data Apple is collecting is disclosed in an updated version of its privacy policy where it added a paragraph noting that once users agree, Apple and unspecified “partners and licensees” may collect and store user location data.


What the fuck is with these companies violating everyone's privacy??

It's becoming so ubiquitous, I'm not even sure a massive boycott could work. I think this shit needs to be settled in the courts.

Of course, therein lies another problem: the courts are all stacked with corporatists. Any guess whose side they'll come down on???
