Are you seriously that paranoid? Do you wear a tin foil hat by any
chance? :-)
Cell phone systems keep track of the location of the phone, and they
can record the information permanently. They can do this even when
the phone is switched "off", because it still transmits.
That information comes from the Palestine Information Technology
Association. In Palestine, being tracked often means you get killed
by a missile that wounds or kills other people passing by.
If you consider this a joking matter, the joke will be on you.
> The cases are similar, and my view on the two cases is similar.
So answer this question, did you "ask" to use the phone? or did
the fact someone had one "lure" you into the dark side by using
proprietary software?
Do you think it is wrong to borrow someone's computer if it has
proprietary software in it? If so, your position is much more
extreme than mine.
