The hidden dangers of the apps.
Whoever
owns a smartphone or a tablet, or both, knows what an app is. Many
businesses know this, so they have developed their own apps. Apps are
simple programs that improve the interaction and functionality…
they are also friendly to
most of the users. By «living in a phone», it could be said that
the apps will always be with the user. This is “the truth” about
apps.
The
Baidu
Case was an episode in which millions of Windows and Android users
downloaded applications for Baidu
(navigation bar and app) that “leaked”
the personal information of its
users (IMEI, URLS visited, location and even phone models) straight
to Baidu's servers.
#UberGate
and the travel logs of millions of users being stored in databases...
sitting... for real, do you really need me to explain this one?. God
View
is a “bragadoccio”
that Uber developed (internal use only) to
allow the
company
to track the position of "its vehicles and passengers”... on
real time.
All this information makes Uber a target of all the government agencies that crave all the tools that will allow them to control their subjects… pardon me, “citizens”.

The
importance of Uber… back in 2014, Uber provided transport services
to 61%
of the Members of Congress in the United States… take
a look at the
complaint to the FTC
because of Uber's privacy policy and its plans to monitor its user's
contacts… using promo
codes!.
Facebook
Facebook apps leak user's information through iFrames (inline frame or built-in frame). An iFrame is an element within a web site that allows a code to work from the outside. Due to errors in code, because there are always there, the apps' iFrame “leaks” the information to advertisers or analytical and web analytics; giving them access to photos, messages and private information.

End-to-End
Encryption or E2EE
is a communications system in which only the people involved can read
the messages. Not even the service providers have access to the keys.
Whatsapp
announced that its messaging services would be encrypted
and the only ones that could read the messages are the sender and the
receiver (E2EE)… but even so, Whatsapp
will store the conversations of its users… for security purposes.
The
name
of the game is metadata. The
issue
is data protection and privacy against the things
that companies, agencies and governments
are doing with the information that each one of us generates through
devices, on
a daily basis. We
are talking about privacy; we are talking about the human right to do
whatever the fuck we desire to do, without all
these “cyber-actions”
going
straight to the
ledger. These agencies and governments own the ledger, and they will
always use it while hiding
in the shadows, the
idea is to "neutralize"
its
adversaries by
“leaking” the type of information that shocks hypocritical
societies and destroys lives…
at night, without a sound… no smoking gun.
