Sen. Wyden Confirms Cell-Site Simulators Disrupt Emergency Calls
The title of this article is pretty misleading. There is no confirmation that the cell-site simulators disrupt emergency calls. Rather:<p>> Harris Corporation claims that they have the ability to detect and deliver calls to 911, but they admit that this feature hasn’t been tested.<p>The fact that the feature isn't tested is a serious concern, and should be addressed, but this headline is completely inaccurate, frankly dishonest, and reduces my faith in the EFF.<p>I understand where the EFF is coming from, and for the most part believe in their causes, but this sort of willfully dishonest headline just serves to reduce credibility. In the future when I see EFF articles with dramatic headlines I'm going to assume they're probably not what they seem and be less likely to read the article.<p>Fans of he EFF will forgive these sorts of inaccuracies. Skeptics will not - this sort of article just serves to drive reasonable but undecided people away from your cause.
