Blog #3- Should Apps Be Allowed to Track Your Location?

 

 

1. Do you have an expectation of privacy when you download an app?

I do expect to have my privacy when downloading an app.

2. Should the police be allowed to track GPS data without warrants? Why or why not?

 In my opinion I dont think the GPS should be tracked  without a warrant unless of an emergency; such as stolen vehicle, child abduction, kidnapp, or even a parent that is concerned about their childs/children (under 18) where abouts. I think everyone should have their own privacy and be able to go where ever they want without someone knowing their every move.

3. Would you use apps that post your location to your online social network profile or otherwise alert others of your whereabouts? Why or why not?

 If there isn't a setting change to post something without my location being post also, I would NOT use that app. On all my current social networks (Facebook, Twitter, Blog, and Instagram), I have followers and friends all over the world. I do not know everyone that I am following, followers, or friends with. So, I do NOT want my location to show up on my social networks because I don't know what these people are capable of. I dont even know what the people I know personally capable of. So, I don't put any personal information on social networks and I wouldn't want an app to do it for me.
