Cease and Desist
Chapter: Random
I stayed up late to complete this… because I care! This comic was definitely inspired by the brou-ha-ha happening over Android’s log-your-every-move spyware.
Enjoy!

Also it doesn’t record keystrokes,(records hard touch) nor inspect or report anything from emails and sms that u receive or send. Along with some other things new outlets have been accusing it off doing. Not only is CIQ not on every android phone, its actually up to the carrier to have it embedded in the first place.. If you really want to be upset, switch carriers! Sigh.. its going to become another locationgate like apple had to deal with..
Anyway I liked the strip Krishna!

For future reference on more about iOS and its running on iOS..
Let me state again that CIQ only is installed if 1. Manufacturer agree’s on it, and 2. Carrier does. Anyway. this is just here for the other readers :D

Was just about to post a rude comment about it being on iOS as well. :P Anyway, it’s the price we pay for technology. It’s all anonymised and aggregated, so I don’t think we have too much to worry about. It’s really just another fad for the conspiracy theorists to get caught up on!
Also, I thought this strip was particularly true in this day and age, what with companies and individuals throwing cease & desists at each other!
