NYCLU: City's Public Wi-Fi Raises Privacy Concerns
http://www.nyclu.org/news/citys-public-wi-fi-raises-privacy-concerns
The city's new public Wi-Fi network LinkNYC raises several
privacy concerns for users, the New York Civil Liberties Union
announced today after sending a letter to the Office of the
Mayor on Tuesday. CityBridge, the company behind the LinkNYC
kiosks that have begun replacing phone booths in Manhattan,
retains a vast amount of information about users - often
indefinitely - building a massive database that carries a risk
of security breaches and unwarranted NYPD surveillance.
