People overestimate mobile privacy
http://j.mp/M96nve (Boing Boing)
"My friend Jen Urban of UC Berkeley and her colleagues Chris Jay
Hoofnagle and Su Li have just published Mobile Phones and Privacy, a
paper in the BCLT Research Paper Series, and a summary. In a nutshell,
people totally overestimate the privacy of the data on their mobile
phones, they oppose all the current legislative directions on mobile
privacy, including the ability of the police to plunder their phones
for "suspicious" information and the practice of carriers retaining
detailed logs of their activity."
