Comment on Google Nexus Android phones do not include Carrier IQ tracking softwareparent

Comments

I'm curious about which carriers.

Are we just talking about US carriers or carriers worldwide? I'd think "Carrier IQ" wouldn't fly under stricter European privacy laws (even if it is OK in the US, which some people say is an open question). Is that right?

Well, I don't know which carriers have installed CarrierIQ on their phones, but according to this: http://www.theverge.com/2011/12/1/2602532/verizon-carrier-iq... Verizon denies using or ever having used CarrierIQ.

Absolutely. That was the very question I thought of as I posted that. I have a suspicion it's US carriers.

Well I live in India and i will look for CareerIQ in my bro's galaxy. The handsets here are contract free and GSM.

in fact its probably the same exact carrier whose parent was given the right to spy on amercians for the us government after laws were broken..
