So my carrier can see what numbers I call, see my text messaging habits and see what websites I visit, all tied to a unique handset ID?

This is preposterous. Next thing you know, they'll be using this information to send you a bill at the end of the month based on who you call and how much bandwidth you've used!




@ 15:00, you can see your keystrokes are being sent to the app even when the local wireless connection is being used (not 3G). The example is a search request to https://google.com (note, https), and the app is seeing your search string.

That's much, much, more than you expect your ISP to have access to. It's essentially a keylogger running on a computer (your phone) that you own.

And every keystroke that you enter in "secure" connections, and everything you do offline.


You got a problem with that? :)


There is no sense of humour on HN.
