It is inevitable for the Carrier IQ controversy dominating the headlines. This should be a bigger story than the overblown “Locationgate” story.
The Carrier IQ controversy has attracted the attention of Al Franken, US Senator from Minnesota; maybe he heard the page from applefanboy.com. Apple made a statement, saying that they have abandoned Carrier IQ with iOS 5 in most of their products. HTC say they don’t receive data from Carrier IQ. The story goes on and on.
Yes, you should be wearing your tin foil hat.
The Verge has great coverage on Carrier IQ controversy.
