The issue presented in this article is security, because hackers could come up with programs to hack into this system and find the location of people anywhere in the world. If you have a GPS tracker on you might not know its on and your friends can see where you are, when you don't want them too. Another security risk is that it stores or saves your last known location. People knowing where you are at any given point could pose a serious security threat to you. Unless this program is heavily protected and secure it is not safe to use and even then there is always a possible risk.
Although the google tracker is fully legal, there might be those that might abuse its functions in order to infiltrate the privacy of users. This problem can be related with the use of limewire where it is legal, however, users abuse its functions to committ illegal actions. Although there are notification services, it is only available on blackberry which only few percent of the world have access to. As a result, the feature can't be fully relied on to safeguard users locations for their protection and privacy. This therefore, relates to the equality of access because not all users do have the access to the latest technology for the additional features.
This article talks about the issue of privacy with mobile phones that use a program made by Google that tracks the location of that mobile using GPS or wi-fi to locate it. The main issue is abuse of the program by people having it installed on their mobile without knowing its there and the person that installed it can track them anywhere they go, which is an issue with privacy. Even though it could be noticeable that the program is installed as it can be found in the menu, but there still is a number of people who do not know how to fully function their mobile phones.

Even though this is a huge development in technology it also has some implications and issues regarding privacy, security and globalization. From a stakeholder point of view, we find that hackers can start using these services to find out where a particular person is located, it will bring a lot of advantages to criminals because it will be easier for them to find a specific person, keeping in mind that the person himself won't know whether they are tracking him/her down. About the issue of globalization more people will start using this new trend that will further develop for other mobiles, which will create a big network of different locations. The government should try to develop another software or spywares that will allow users to feel secure and know whether they are tracked down or not.
The addition of Google Tracker to modern day mobile phones provide further assistance to users and raise the bar for modern technology. However, this issue raises very serious concerns regarding privacy. Unless Google enables all units with Latitude, the use of Google Tracker will become a large security issue. Stakeholders in this situation, such as clients, will have serious concerns. In the past, there have been concerns regarding the use of animal tracking devices, and it will be interesting to see how this development unfolds.
Security and privacy are the main ethical issues of this technological enhancement. Google indicates to us that they have taken all of the proper procuders but some counter arguments suggest that this enhancement might cause some problems if someone accidently left it on.

Google should have a program where issues concerning security and privacy is minimize in their programs and made sure that it doesn't give out locations and names of the users.
As the GPS network is merging with modern every day systems, it will be extremely beneficial, for know where you are can be very helpful in times of crisis, however, as the GPS network merges with the internet though cellular technology, this open a window of opportunity for internet criminals, therefore making privacy somewhat non-existent, due to the fact that not only can people steal your personal information, your location will be on the internet for anyone to know. In conclusion this merger can be extremely beneficial if not taken advantage of and used for internet crimes.

Google has introduced something which could be very halpful but i really think they should have thought about the pros and cons of this program before launching it.
The obvious issue here is security, as people's lives might not be as secure as they would like. People will face serious trouble if their devices were to be hacked as hackers will know the whereabouts of certain people and make them more prone to theft. This could also be a danger to people's lives. The only thing to stop this would be to have a srong security within the device which would block hackers, but as we have seen with laptops, hackers are still around and targeting vulnerable people!
This article addresses the issue of privacy. This is because the device could be hacked into and the information could be miss used by criminals. This would mean that people could be tracked.
