Earlier today I highlighted why and what your Android phone is storing about you (turns out not too much).
Now the reason why your phone is doing this is because YOU opt’d in. You might not have noticed but the first time you opened Google Maps you would have got this popup:
So after it turned out ios4 has been storing nearly all the wifi and cell sites you’ve been near since you upgraded to the firmware is an sqlite file which is backed up to your PC unencrypted via iTunes, @packetlss has found the Android equivalent.
One of the arguments the No side make is that AV will let BNP voters have a greater say.
MYTH – Will AV help to shut the doors on extremists like the BNP?
REALITY – No. Extremists like the BNP, the National Front, and the British Union of Fascists have never had an MP elected under our current system. But while we hope that AV still wouldn’t lead to extremist parties winning seats, it would certainly give them more influence. AV undermines the fundamental principle of One Person, One Vote, and rewards people who vote for fringe candidates by making them the first to get another vote counted. In some seats, BNP supporters could get at least six chances to have their vote counted – while mainstream voters would only get their vote counted once. Because the other parties would need extra votes in later rounds of counting, they’d have an incentive to pander to the extremists to try and win their second preferences.
