Even your APPS are invading your privacy!
As regular viewers know, I'm not a big fan of the traditional smartphone craze. Sure, they're really handy gizmos, but the amount of data being hoovered up and shipped off to large service providers is a bit frustrating. As if things aren't bad enough on that front, it gets better! It turns out that even individual APPS running on your phone are spying on you - specifically, they're tracking your location (among other things). What's more, your location data can be easily linked to you as a private individual. To top it all off, this data is bought and sold to anyone who will pay - and all in the blink of an eye! Join me for a fascinating and disconcerting look at the wonderful world of Location Data companies and the inner workings of your favorite apps!
