The concept of a Textalyzer also ignores the capacity for apps themselves to be the cause of the activity. For example IFTTT could be sending texts as a result of some trigger. The messaging app could be retrying to send a message that was sent previously. You might have auto-email set up. The entire concept is flawed. That your phone has engaged in some kind of activity is not indicative that the human who owns the phone did so manually.

It's a technically ignorant news article about technically ignorant politicians creating technically ignorant laws that don't really help.

Not to mention passengers. My wife commonly uses my phone in the car to help me navigate so I can keep my eyes on the road. A tool like this would actively punish responsible drivers like myself.

Textalyzer isn't the judge, jury, and executioner here. You're not going to have your phone scanned and then be immediately carted off to prison for the rest of your life because an app sent an auto text.

All of the data it pulls from your phone is going to _evidence_ that could be used in court.

I'm still not on board with it, but I don't think false positives are as big of a deal as people here are making them out to be.
