And our wonderful State Attorney General just figured this out? Has she been living in a lead cave? My friend's 10 year old grandson has been telling her to make sure she doesn't buy apps that track, ever since she bought a smartphone last year. How much of our money did the state send to figure this out? It's only included in every app's and phone's privacy and usage agreement.

SF is so luck she decided to leave for the state office.
