Researchers deduce social networks with great accuracy simply by analyzing mobile phone use.

Who are those "researchers", chestnut501? Isn't it an invasion to our privacy? Telecommunication bosses didn't answer yet to the questions about their recent collaboration with criminals in power. Do you think they will hesitate to use this information at their own disposal? Did they demonstrate urgent readiness to obtain our permission for using this kind of information? 

Hi aklimento, You're absolutely right, it is an envasion of privacy. And if they don't directly use that information for themselves, someone else will get it and use it. Our government won't say or do anything because they do it themselves. Until the people start making their demands heard, nobody will do anything.
