The first App for the Occupation has been made!
Wired broke the news on the In-human Microphone App for iPhone
used to circumvent the Megaphone Ban at OccupyNYC.

Secret Monitor software found on most Android Phones
If you installed Google Android OS directly from Google, then you are safe. If you received your Android or Blackberry phone directly from your phone carrier (HTC, Sprint, AT&T, Verizon, etc) then every keystroke has been recorded by a third-party company on behalf of your phone carrier.
Lifehacker has instructions on how to remove the software:

I just installed Trevor’s “logging test app” it worked very well. I have always rooted, and installed custom ROM’s on my androids within hours of getting them for customization and efficiency. I found that my ROM, “Coredroid” does not support the CIQ logging, and for that I am very relieved.
HTC Sensation 4G on Tmobile
ROM: Coredroid v2.7 on Android Gingerbread 2.3.4
