US Senators Al Franken and Richard Blumenthal proposed on Wednesday the Bill which would require that smartphone companies, app companies, app developers and even phone companies to get customer’s expressed consent before collecting location information and sharing it with third parties.
The Bill called “Location Privacy Protection Act of 2011” would close loopholes that users know what location data is being collected and shared with third parties. Therefore, the consumers could decide if they consent to collection and share it.
