--Microsoft Facing Lawsuit Over Windows Phone 7 Location Data Collection
(September 1, 2011)

A complaint filed in district court in Seattle alleges that Microsoft's
Windows Phone 7 tracks users' locations without permission. The
complaint alleges that Microsoft is attempting to map the locations of
cell towers, wireless routers, mobile phones and computers to support
its location-based advertising service, and that the company is using
the Windows Phone camera application to gather the information. The
first time users open the camera application, they are asked for
permission to log their location. Users' responses are ignored when the
application is opened subsequently.
