NYT Location Privacy Article

Randall Stross, a professor of business at San Jose State University, pens a piece for the New York Times about location privacy. It highlights the new Helio, a phone aimed at younger folks, and how the user must manually update his or her position; otherwise it sends out an “old” one. Deeper down David Mark is quoted about how legislation will likely be adopted. I think he’s quite right.

But, he added, it would probably take a “horrific incident involving a celebrity” before legislators paid attention [and thus enacted legilstation purging location information].
