When an App Download Turns Into a Government Record The #DOJ just issued SUPOENAS to #Apple, #Google, #Amazon, and #Walmart DEMANDING the names, home addresses, phone numbers, and complete purchase histories of over 100,000 people who downloaded a single phone app. The app maker offered to hand over anonymized data. The government said no, it wants names attached to addresses attached to purchase histories, and it's assembling the complete customer database from twelve different companies - after the app maker REFUSED to build it a BACKDOOR for MONITORING users. The legal argument they use? If you ever clicked "I agree" on an app's standard terms of service, you no longer have a cognizable privacy interest in your data.
