Researchers Secretly Tracked Cellphone Users
Researchers secretly tracked the locations of 100,000 people outside the United States through their cell phone use and concluded that most people rarely stray more than a few miles from home. The first-of-its-kind study by Northeastern University raises privacy and ethical questions for its monitoring methods, which would be illegal in the United States ... The scientists would not disclose where the study was done, only describing the location as an industrialized nation.
