Check out this article: Apple ‘traitorware’ can take your photo and shut down your jailbroken iPhone, iPad
This gist of it is, you jailbreak an Apple device, they want to track you like FBI agents looking for criminals.
All I can think of is Jack Torrance.
Reminds me of that school that used monitoring software to record kids activities on the schools laptops (that they were allowed to take home)… the staff were not only logging history and keystrokes, they also recorded audio from the mics and monitored the web-cam remotely. There was a whole lawsuit over the privacy invasion. As for Apple, I’ve no intention on Jail-breaking… Apple just seem to be taking the DRM policy as inspired by the RIAA (by spyware, by illegalities, by force)
