Nota dell'Editore
Il monitoraggio delle nostre attività, ricerche, spostamenti, è una attività illecita, mascherata da un "consenso"
praticamente estorto, con la scusa di attivare una particolare applicazione, ed è nota da tempo.
Monitoraggio che è posto in essere non solo da Google ma da molti altri attori del web.
Non solo.
Pare anche posto in essere il "furto" dei nostri contatti:
Non solo.
Secondo alcune fonti il telefonino potrebbe essere "attivato a distanza" in audio e video.. a nostra insaputa.
Magari quando il soggetto controllato è particolarmente interessante ( un politico, un militare, un industriale etc.) e
quando si trova, ovviamente,
in località sensibili..
Come una base militare, un ufficio governtaivo, etc.
Il tutto come da noi segnalato già da molto tempo..
La difesa:
E poi, se possbile, lasciarlo a casa..
E da, pare, alcuni fabbricanti di telefonini..
numeri di telefono ed email, e pure video od immagini..
usare custodie " a libro", tenerlo lontano da noi e ben chiuso in una borsa, borsetto oppure tasca..
The complaints cited a study by the Norwegian Consumer Council that found the Internet giant used
Council official Gro Mette Moen said “Google uses extremely detailed and comprehensive personal data without
an appropriate judicial basis, and the data is acquired by means of manipulative techniques.”
Complaints against Google were filed in the Czech Republic, Greece, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Slovenia and Sweden,
and are all based on the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation.
The new law went into effect in May.
The complaints allege that Google tracks device Location History and other information using applications,
which are built into almost everything an Android phone includes.
“For users of mobile phones with Android (operating systems), such as Samsung and Huawei phones,
this tracking is particularly difficult to avoid,” the Norwegian council stated.
According to Statcounter, almost 70 percent of European mobile phones run on the Android
system, and the number is higher worldwide.
“Location data can reveal a lot about a person:
“Constant location tracking and aggregation of location data over time can be used to
build very detailed profiles of individuals and to infer religious beliefs, political leanings,
and sexual orientation, among other things,”
Monique Goyens, director general of The European Consumer Organization argued,
“The situation is more than alarming.
The Dutch organization Consumentenbond is demanding
Google responded by parroting the age-old line that “Location History is turned off by default,
and you can edit, delete, or pause it at any time. If it’s on, it helps improve services like
predicted traffic on your commute.
“If you pause it, we make clear that—depending on your individual phone and app settings—we might still
collect and use location data to improve your Google experience.”
However, many people know and understand that Google is a massive data collector,
and who knows if they actually turn off these tracking applications or not.
Consumers only have their word.
If the U.S. can’t control these liberal monopolies, many people are glad that
at least other countries are forcing Google to defend its practices.

“deceptive design and misleading information, which results in users accepting to be constantly tracked.”
real time movements, frequently visited places, daily routines, interests, etc,”
the Norwegian complaint stated.
it added.
“Google’s data hunger is notorious but the scale with which it deceives its users to track
and monetize their every move is breathtaking.
Smartphones are being used for spying on our every move.”
“this tracking must stop.”
