Do you use a Smartphone? Android, BlackBerry, and Nokia users beware of "Spying" app with no way to opt out.

Unreal, they can threaten Trevor Eckhart with a legal action if he doesn't keep quite.
Why can't he bring legal action against them for deceptive practices? Liars and bullies.




Your smartphone is spying on you!

We all know that this is happening all the time, just watch NCSI on TV.
@ Karen ..... left ...... coffee ...... right wait
@ Dennis ....... doh

I just don't get why they lie and threaten him with a lawsuit but when "the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) took a look at the case and determined that Eckhart was working within his First Amendment rights, it backed off but still denied that they recorded keystrokes".
I was raised to respect people and their stuff, I guess these big tech companies don't now how to respect people and their stuff. Also was taught not to lie and bully, guess they didn't learn that either.
Breaking the law by violating users' privacy, it is against the law according to the Federal Trade Commission. I hope some one sues them or the FTC steps in and makes them remove it or let the user aware of it and let the user have the option to opt out.

Karen lol

Dennis, what sites would "those" be. bigsmile

Hi Peter.

There is an easy way that will hurt them real fast and is very effective. Just don't buy their smart phones. lol

Darkogdare Thursday, December 1, 2011 6:15:03 PM

Well, phones are just one way of spying. What about security cameras, servers log files, GPS devices, use of credit cards,... I don't want to go into conspiracy theory now but there are so many possibilities, cell phones are just one of them left

Well, I don't own a smart phone but I did just purchase an ereader/internet tablet with Android OS. Wonder if something like that is on here? as long as they don't use my personal info to empty my bank account, don't guess I care. Don't have much to hide. Except my bank account. left http://files.myopera.com/Tamil/Smilies/Scared.gif - right

Dacotah Friday, December 9, 2011 7:38:18 AM

How do you like it Linda?
I've been thinking about getting a tablet someday but not sure what one to get or if they work good or not.

L2D2 Saturday, December 10, 2011 4:03:15 AM

So far I like mine real well. Just haven't learned to navigate skilfully yet. Mine is a cheaper unit (I'm not about to pay $500 for a tablet PC), but this has had good reviews by buyers. I mainly bought it for the eReader app. However, I can go on internet with the browser, and it has an FM radio, an MP3 player, a calculator and I'm not sure what else. Haven't tried out those functions yet. I did check my gmail using it though. So far I'm real happy with it.

Dacotah Saturday, December 10, 2011 12:14:15 PM

I'm happy to hear you like it.

L2D2 Monday, December 12, 2011 4:35:34 AM

Oh, and I can use Micro SD cards for more storage if I run out of internal memory.

Dacotah Monday, December 12, 2011 1:55:23 PM

That would be good for back up use to.

So, is this why I keep getting ads on my phone for "Vegetable Porn?"

(Omygod! yikes I just googled the word vegetable porn, looking for something humorous; like THIS: http://doroteos2.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/3d041908fcaf84f.jpg -

Dacotah Monday, January 2, 2012 9:37:02 PM
