Mobile Device Privacy Act – Read the Discussion Draft
by Elizabeth
I hope you’ll read this Mobile Device Privacy Act Discussion Draft and pass along to others. The discussion draft focuses on transparency and choice surrounding data collection, not about what data is collected and how the data is used. It also holds the device and OS manufacturers to the same standards as the wireless carriers, along with any after-market “monitoring software” installations. I did not see any specific definition of “monitoring software”. Will have to ask my congressman about that one…
Whether you are for or against the specific points of the act, I hope you’ll educate yourself and share your feedback with your state representative.
