ACADEMIC RESEARCH

It’s the middle of the night. Do you know who your iPhone is talking to? Apple says, “What happens on your iPhone stays on your iPhone.” Our privacy experiment showed 5,400 hidden app trackers guzzled our data — in a single week. It’s 3 a.m. Do you know what your iPhone is doing? Mine has been alarmingly busy. Even though the screen is off and I’m snoring, apps are beaming out lots of information about me to companies I’ve never heard of. Your iPhone probably is doing the same — and Apple could be doing more to stop it. On a recent Monday night, a dozen marketing companies, research firms and other personal data guzzlers got reports from my iPhone. At 11:43 p.m., a company called Amplitude learned my phone number, email and exact location. At 3:58 a.m., another called Appboy got a digital fingerprint of my phone.

Carl V. Patton and David S. Sawicki   Chapter 1. The Need for Simple Methods of Policy Analysis and Plannng. Our increasingly complex society confronts us with more and more difficult pol­icy problems that are not easily solved. Although these problems may be “at­tacked” or “addressed,” often they have no dearly correct answers. Some au­thors characterize the problems of modern society as “squishy,” “fuzzy,” and “wicked” and as often having the following attributes: 1. They are not well defined. 2. Their solutions cannot usually be proven to be correct before application. 3. No problem solution is ever guaranteed to achieve the intended result. 4. Problem solutions are seldom both best and cheapest. 5. The adequacy of the solution is often difficult to measure against notions of the public good. 6. The fairness of solutions is impossible to measure objectively. There are many examples of complex problems. What is the best location in a state for a ma
