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."

    There is no way this is going to put on any iPhone Verizon sells.

    Yeah way... i'm sure they'll make a special one just for the iPhone though. It'll just look pretty and have a web2.0-esque theme with a picture of an iPhone with attached anal probe being jabbed into a naked guy's a***....
