Collecting data without consumers' consent? Heck yeah it's illegal.

Wireless carriers should also be sued too, afterall they also got a fair share of people private info as well.

I wonder if anyone is going to be doing a perp walk over this? Free room and board with restricted visitation rights and a rap sheet is the only way to stop this kind of abuse.

There is a legitimate place for this kind of software, but the user has to opt in and for the duration the software is running its diagnostic session, there is a symbol of some sort in the notification bar. None of this was done. Instead federal wiretap laws were broken.

Make the f*ckers do a perp walk!

The carriers should be the defendants. The manufacturers are nearly blameless.

I guess this is how AT&T was finally able to see which users were using their device for tethering this whole time... think about it lol.

the problem with the IQ software is not what it does the IQ people and the carriers swear they dont misuse it (God knows they would never lie to us) the problem is what it is capable of doing and that you have no way of stopping it or even knowing it is there God only knows what it could be used for

The government needs to come up with some serious penalties(jail time or death) when these theives violate peoples privacy in such a blatant way! this is why groups like Anonymous & wikileaks are so important !!!

How in the frig is it that the carriers remain unnamed in these things? Damn it, I wish I had deep enough pockets to form my own lobby.
