Tell-All Telephone

Tell-All Telephone

July 26th, 2012

Anyone who has read Cryptogon over the last several years knows that it’s not as bad as the following piece suggests; it’s actually much worse.

Via: Zeit Online:

Green party politician Malte Spitz sued to have German telecoms giant Deutsche Telekom hand over six months of his phone data that he then made available to ZEIT ONLINE. We combined this geolocation data with information relating to his life as a politician, such as Twitter feeds, blog entries and websites, all of which is all freely available on the internet.

By pushing the play button, you will set off on a trip through Malte Spitz’s life. The speed controller allows you to adjust how fast you travel, the pause button will let you stop at interesting points. In addition, a calendar at the bottom shows when he was in a particular location and can be used to jump to a specific time period. Each column corresponds to one day.

    I do realize it’s all much worse than that, but it’s still creepy to me to see it when it’s all packaged up in that pretty GUI.

    It just shows where this is all going. I frequently refer to my mobile phone as my “personal tracking device,” let’s call a spade a spade.
