Combwork, I also have wondered about the updates making it easier to follow internet activity. But in today's every increasing reliance on technologies I see our personal freedoms going to the wayside. Tracking the phone and the ability to listen to conversations of yours when not even on the phone. Have to pull the battery to completely stop this from happening.
So tracking your internet persona would seem like a piece of cake. They have a semi secret department of Government who run programs to pick up key words in conversations now. Richard Clarke was on a program a couple of weeks ago and stated the US has over 30K people listening to "Foreign Nationals" conversations. Then Hillary Clinton announced last week the program in use to infiltrate Blogs and input the U.S.'s point of view.
I personally believe the updates on the internet are two fold, security from viruses and to give the provider more info to sell to those who want it.
