      ab: The article focuses on the potential for abuse of privacy in the use of participatory sensing technology with mobile phones. The author uses three participatory sensing applications from the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) to demonstrate the ability of the technology to collect and share data. The applications are used to measure the participant's carbon footprint; to facilitate bicycle commuting; and to document behaviors to further their modification. He suggests that software developers implement data-protection standards regarding the collection of personal information from participatory sensing technology.
