Phone Carriers have been selling your real-time location data to at least a few companies for years, in a bombshell report that has everyone scratching their head how is this even possible. Only coming to light after a now-fired Sherrif used the data illegally. Turns out cell companies can sell your location data to private companies but require a warrant from the government. Simply amazed that this can be abused. Kirk will be hosting the next two shows as I head to Colombus for my teams annual lock in retreat where we plan our strategy for the year.

Seems Mark Zuckerberg and Tim Cook are having a go at it. With Tim Cook taking Mark Zuckerberg to school. Apple is pretty serious about user privacy and Cook makes that point loud and clear in a recent interview and conference discussion. Mark was not happy at all and took his own shot at Cook. One thing is for sure privacy discussion is alive and well in America. Will it lead to change, one can only hope. We will just have to watch the space to see how it plays out.
