There is a slight difference, in my eyes, to broadcasting your personal information to everyone, and giving it to a TelCo (which _hopefully_ doesn't actively monitor you) which may share it with a _hopefully_ legitimate law enforcement agency. Sure there is opportunity for abuse in either situation, but generally I like to have a bit more faith in my law enforcement than in an unknown stalker. True, there are plenty of cases where I am wrong and where law enforcement abuse their powers, or where TelCos abuse their power or get hacked. But for an ordinary day, I usually just want some anonymity. All that said, I would like the feature ;) _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
