如今,移动设备位置跟踪系统越来越普及,人们的生活已经时时刻刻离不开它。可是,随之而来的也是诸多隐私的泄露,科技让我们已无处藏身,我们珍贵的隐私还在不在!
This is the VOA Special English Technology Report.
Lawmakers in the United States have expanded an investigation into the use of location-tracking systems on mobile devices.
The action follows recent reports about the storing of information on the Apple iPhone, iPad and iTouch. Questions have also been raised about Google Android devices. Some people consider location tracking to be a threat to personal privacy and security.
Allan Friedman is the research director for technology and innovation at the Brookings Institution in Washington. He says all wireless companies do some amount of location tracking as part of their networks. Mr. Friedman says this information is usually stored by the companies, not the devices, and there are laws to protect it.
ALLAN FRIEDMAN: Law enforcement, for example, has to have a fairly high standard before it can access that data. And the phone company is also prohibited from selling that information.
Congress discussed the issue of mobile privacy last year. Now, two researchers reported last month that location tracking information is being stored directly on Apple devices. They said Apples newest operating systems gather global positioning system and timestamp information.
