In the Bay Area, radio ads are hyping a new “app” which will permit smart phone users to physically monitor their premises and their children’s whereabouts, as well as locking doors. Smart phone are not secure. Cyber criminals must be licking their chops in anticipation of co-opting that function. Google and Yahoo make no bones about tracking and monitoring people’s e-mail and internet use. Google is putting the whole world online with their Google Earth function. They make no bones about sharing this information with other institutions, governmental and corporate. With the development of social networks (also aided by the intelligence community), those smart phones and the internet have made any concept of privacy fundamentally obsolete! People have enthusiastically embraced these developments! They would do well to stop their whining. It is also interesting to note that none of the critics of Echelon/Menwith Hill/PRISM have raised any objection whatsoever to T-Mobile, owned by Deutsche Telekom, which is controlled by the German government. This was authorized by the Bush administration. (See excerpt below.) It is a safe bet that BND-German intelligence–monitors all calls made on T-mobile. Not incidentally, T-mobile owns Metro PCS. (See excerpted text below.) If you use T-Mobile or Metro PCS, you are being spied on by the German government. Enjoy, civil libertarians!
