Abstract :
Smartphones and tablet computers have an ownership model more akin to that of games consoles than PCs. Rather than users possessing these devices, the devices are possessed by multiple third parties, to the detriment of users´ rights. Given the ubiquity of these devices, this leaves users vulnerable to significant security and privacy violations.
