Can Anything Be Done About This Invasion Of Privacy?

[Stelv]

Verizon has to be spying on us for market and data research, probably more. All the big companies do it these days. Facebook data mines the hell out of our information. It's pretty sad how intrusive the quest for money has gotten on the web and connected devices.

We can all relax, Senator Al Franken is on the case.

Truthfully, you know something is there. After all, VZW said they don't use "CARRIER IQ" on their handsets. That leaves a lot open.

NBC just reported on this story complete with an "expert" who says that key log data is not being transmitted. Depending upon your level of paranoia, you can rest easy or being really irritated.

I checked out my phone and found a bunch of apps with the same logo/icon as the one in the video. There are 10 of them fake blur xmpp, contacts sync, hst cmd, motoblur index....etc. same characteristics.....cant uninstall or stop. Even tried to put them in quarentine. Nothing worked!!!

Anyone know of these services do:

Admin Notifier
com.verizon.permissions.appdi
com.verizon.permissions.vzwapp
Fake Blur Xmpp
GeoLocFileObserverService
Kpi Logger Service
MOTOBLUR indexing Service


If you have any ideas of what these services are, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I too sometimes wondered why apps need to access so much information. I downloaded an app called "LBE Privacy Guard" which allows you to control what the apps can access. You do have to be rooted to use it. I also found a nice app called "Adfree" which blocks alot of inline ads apps have. (also need to be rooted)

Wrap your phone with aluminum foil to fix it. Also be sure to put your foil hat on too.
