>> Asked about the privacy aspects of the new app, a spokesperson for the Obama campaign wrote that "anyone familiar with the political process in America knows this information about registered voters is available and easily accessible to the public."

I think this is a cop-out. The information may be available to the public, but having it accessible on a map interface like this, by an app that can be downloaded by anyone, is a different ballgame. Especially in today's political atmosphere, it would make me very uneasy.

Sucks that it's opt-out, too.
