Who is Watching you is your iphone and Android tracking your moves? Tech companies are being accused of collecting data from individuals and possibly making millions on the information by improving technology. Over 40 million Americans own iphones and Android phones and they can track your every move. Can this get in the wrong hands of a predator? Google who makes the Android phone "states that you can stop tracking by oping out of the tracking 'Use Google Location' if you don't want your data sent back to Google." The iphone does not have this option as of yet.
