Apple Discusses iOS Privacy Issues Before Congress
An anonymous reader writes "Earlier today, Apple's VP of software technology, Guy L. 'Bud' Tribble appeared before a congressional hearing on mobile privacy to address concerns that were first brought to the forefront following the 'location tracking' controversy that emerged a few weeks ago."
At the risk of being redundant - I'll repost the same thing I posted above:
TFS really isn't worth a lot, and TFA seems to be an ego-centric Apple article. But, people who keep up with the news already knew that there were going to be more people than Apple's shills testifying at that hearing.

You can use your own search terms - or, you can just read the news headlines from most of the major news outlets. It ain't about Apple. It's about citizen's right to privacy.
