This article is about Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan and how she asking Google, apple, and android to release the policies on the tracking of their devices. She is assuming that all of these devices track because the companies are failing to disclose how the programs work and what they are doing with the information they are storing. this directly correlates to what were talking about in Ispy. These companies are storing data without letting users know and taking without permission. The real problem is that privacy is being violated. Andrejivic talks about how they are using this information to advertise to people in the united states. The question is what if we dont want to be advertised to?
