thing it's the googles and the facebooks and the twitter accounts that started the ball rolling in sites gathering info about us, it was a natural progression for the security forces and police to want to monitor what the social media sites do. same with apple. the security forces can monitor you by your cell phone. could do for a while but the apple revelation takes it to a new level
advertising is all about information now. why should apple be different than Google. why should the police be different than apple. pretty soon they'll be an app that allows you to type in a name and address and the app will tell you where that person is and how long he's been there. firms will use it to see works at a macdonalds wifi when they should be off sick. i think it's more a case of little brother than big, it's much more insidious the orwell ever dreamed it could be.
