Verizon Plans Location Warning Sticker

Posted by Soulskill on from the problem-solved-boys-good-work dept.

nonprofiteer writes "After all the location tracking drama, Verizon tells Congress that 'it's going to start slapping a surgeon-general-type warning on the phones it sells: Using this device could be hazardous to your location privacy, and may result in your being tracked!' The actual warning (PDF) is a little drier — illustration with story."

    If the option is get a phone with this warning or no phone at all, then this is not stepping up. This is then just as useless as not offering the information.
