IF your using a cellphone if any recent make your contributing in a small way to help them predict future activities and future crimes :(.
Smartphones are not a utility as you can get the same functionality with a laptop and a internet stick of various kinds (even hide your location with the appropriate hacks)
Smartphones are a slick wellmade NSA surveillance tool people bought hook line and sinker and the companies making them understand what they are and do not care.
If they cared they would have talked before. but the silence from all until snowden says so much about what there real concerns are. which is the bottom line. they say they defend there users but the truth is the encryption on smartphones is pretty broken. the iphone uses closed source and the android uses open source but the hardware is suspicious at best.
A open source code is a nice thing but the hardware itself needs to be 100% open source that is the owner has full control over aspect of it.
If You do not have control of your hardware your hardware is more then likely betraying you.
I am almost to the point of joining McAfee and saying that while smartphones are cool, they spy on you, so watch what you do on them, because the government does.
This was posted here before but VOAT was much smaller then and the post didn't receive any comments.
This breach was specifically mentioned by Adi Shamir (the name should be familiar by now) during the 2015 RSA Cryptographers' Panel 45:17 where Paul Kocher, Ed Giorgio, Ronald Rivest, Whitfield Diffie also feature.
