A Japanese firm that marketed a smartphone application to girlfriends and wives who wanted to keep an eye on their philandering partners has had to tone down the service after complaints that it was effectively spying on people. 据英国《每日电讯报》10月17日报道，一家日本公司销售了一款智能手机应用软件，可以让女友和太太们密切关注她们的另一半，这款软件可以对人进行有效监控，但最近在遭到许多投诉后这家公司不得不改善了这项服务。 Tokyo-based Manuscript released on Sunday a new version of the "Kare Log" – meaning "boyfriend log" – after the original application attracted hundreds of complaints from people who discovered it had been surreptitiously installed on their phones, while software security firm McAfee identified the app as a "Potentially Unwanted Programme". 总部位于东京的Manuscript公司上周日发布了新版的“Kare Log”手机应用——即“男友追踪器”——之前的版本收到了数以百计的投诉，因为人们发现当她们把这款应用悄悄装入手机时，防毒安全软件迈克菲会认定它为“潜在的不必要程序”。 Japan's communications ministry has even waded into the debate on privacy, saying in a statement that "The consent of a tracked individual is very important. There were problems with the way that Kare Log was advertised." 日本通讯部门甚至就隐私问题展开了激烈的讨论，在一份报告中声言“追踪个体的行动是否得到同意非常重要。‘Kare Log’的宣传方式是有问题的。” |
