That's great. At the same time many govts allow mobile providers to track users, even by longitude / latitude. http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/NY-Times-Realizes-Wireless-Carriers-Track-You-113416Hi, I light of the recent discussions regarding governments funding projects like Tor, I thought this article might be of interest. U.S. develops "panic button" for democracy activists Full article: http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/03/25/us-rights-usa-technology-idUSTRE7206DH20110325Now at http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSN2527265620110325
If mobile providers have the technology or are allowed to, so can govts.I sleep better at night just knowing (any) govt has its (& other countries') citizens' best interests at heart. (little sarcasm). A govt's word is as good as gold - they've never lied (from beginning of recorded history), have they?
I am a little concerned though, about the US violating the constitution in numerous ways to spy on citizens in numerous ways. (remember the congressional hearings on telephone & internet?) If you want to know what (any) govt's up to, have to go elsewhere & dig deep for news & insight, not depend on info from the govt(s), nightly news or newspapers. Don't ask the fox guarding the hen house how things are. Something is only a conspiracy theory when no facts, evidence (or sometimes even common sense about it) exist.
