If you are not on the run from the law , why should you freak out over carrier IQ ?

It's not that. We should all live under certain principles, one which is privacy. I am a law abiding man, but I don't want my information out there period.
My texts are private, my pictures are private, my websites I visit are private. I only want myself to know where I have been, what my passwords are, what messages (email, text) I have been sending, my bank account balances, & if I looked up a recipe to cook a leg of lamb. That should be no one else’s business.
Invasion of privacy on a very minute level should not be tolerated, but what Carrier IQ had been doing for the last 5 years or so is just simply inexcusable

the way you reacted to it it's like your data is being twitted or something, you have to realize, carriers and manufacturers won't give a crap about data like these, they were just mandated by the government for it. national security is at stake.

Welll my HTC glacier doesnt have it because its running Cm 7.1. Carrier IQ just needs to come clean and give answers before they go out of business.

I agree with SuperAndroidEvo that what I do is no ones business, even when it's perfectly legal. I'm sure most of the people working for carrier iq could care less about the details of someone's phone activity, but all you need is one dishonest employee there with access to numerous passwords to bank accounts and credit card websites, social network passwords, and email passwords, to ruin a lot. It could ruin your c redit or worse, have your identity stolen. Lots of people file taxes online and get email copies sent. What if they take the keystrokes info to get your password to that account?
More than anything, what bothers me is they didn't tell anyone so they didn't give consumers a choice. If they say, "hey. We track this, this and this," and you say, "whatever I don't care." Then smiles all around. But for those of us who do care, it's unnerving.

No one ,not even the government is qualified to handle people's personal information ,no matter what the purpose is .It's unacceptable.
