Isn’t the location thing that if Apple were to store any location data, it would have to keep a lasting record of said data for the government to access instead of its 24 hour deletion policy?
Yeah, I've read the same, which is that Korea's supposed privacy policies actually decrease privacy and security because they mandate retention policies that, supposedly, Apple et al aren't willing to comply with.
It's like the whole ActiveX debacle. I just don't understand what's in lawmakers' heads.
Actually that is mandated by Korea Financial Telecommunications & Clearing Institute (consisted of banks).
Looks like it's mandated just to play a ping-pong game of "who is the culprit of this data leak" that usually concludes into user's improper installation of "Security Software".
