Exclamation Is Your Cell Phone Violating Your Rights?

Quote:
To say that cell phones are widely used in the U.S. is a gross understatement.

According to CTIA - The Wireless Association, an organization representing the interests of the wireless communications industry, cell phones were used by 96% of the U.S. and territorial population (including Puerto Rico, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands) in December 2010.

A recent Nielsen survey reported that almost one third of U.S. cell phone users are utilizing smartphones. While the growing adoption of smartphones is good news for phone manufacturers, the advanced computing capabilities and wireless connectivity of smartphones raise new concerns regarding privacy rights.

Smartphones provide users continuous mobile access to the Internet. As a result, smartphones contain a treasure trove of personal information, including banking information, travel plans and family photos. However, while use of advanced security software is commonplace on our computers, many of us are not safeguarding the personal information stored on and transmitted through our smartphones. While there is security software for smartphones including anti-virus and encryption software, it is not available for all models of cell phones and has not been widely adopted.

Default Re: Is Your Cell Phone Violating Your Rights?

Cell phones are pocket sized computers with built in audio, video, and internet capabilities. The majority of users don't seem to realize that, or the fact that most of them haven't been secured in any reasonable way. As for cell phones and the invasion of privacy regarding our data, location, movements, and communications, we're just seeing the tip of the iceberg.
