Android phones with stalking as their users

The phones with the Android operating system Google keep track of movements of their users, like Apple's iPhone, say the daily Wall Street Journal and The Guardian in its edition of Friday, April 22. Both newspapers said they obtained this information from computer experts who analyzed the data to arrive at this conclusion.

The Wall Street Journalcite American Samy Kamkar, a former hacker who had become known by disabling the site MySpace in 2005, while The Guardian quoted the Swede Magnus Eriksson. STORAGE LIMITED Android phones only stores the last half of mobile phone antennas and the 200 last wave of the Internet networks (Wi-Fi) approached, unlike Apple phones that record and store all trips for one year.

On Wednesday, two British researchers have published a study showing that Apple had included in the latest version of its iPhone and iPad tablet computing a function that regularly sends the company the position of these devices. Another difference, according to The Guardian, Google does not receive the information thus collected, unlike Apple.
