It’s is indeed FUD season. Washington Post publishes more FUD about 5,400 iOS apps sending some kind of privacy data from Apple Devices to app publishers supposedly without informing the device’s users. . . But article does not inform readers that often the data is necessary for the app to work as designed such as location information for Uber or Lyft being enabled to pick up the app users. . . —PING!
Apple Privacy FUD from the Washington Post Ping!
If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.

And it’s STILL worse on an Android.
The problem is that Apple has to allow app traffic out for legitimate purposes, but there’s no current way to block traffic to/from apps (as with an ad blocker for safari)
Still - without explicit permission the apps cant get access to your contacts, photos or camera and you can turn off location tracking to the app along with background refresh.

The ONLY way to truly know your phone is off.

Ping interest, though I have no cell phone myself. But who knows what Comcast does with what it gains, while maybe MS will see how many of their default preferences are changed by me.

If I put my Galaxy 5 down on my desk at, say, 85% battery and leave it there all day it barely loses any batt life. If I start a walk down Broadway in NY at 85% in an hour it’s almost dead.

How can we load our I-Phones with false data to mess with them?
