Comment on ‘The tyranny of apps’: those without smartphones are unfairly penalised, say campaigners

everyone wants to force you to use apps instead of websites, because websites and browsers have inbuilt protections.

Apps don’t.

Idiots install apps, give them the 400,000 permissions they ask for, then go on their merry way…ignorant to the fact that they just installed a data vacuum on their phone thats siphoning everything off of it to be used and sold and resold for marketing purposes… Even the phone itself its not safe, cause its sitting there, listening to your conversations, even when not on a call, to more “Accurately” spam you with bullshit.

Phones are not listening and if you have proof post it. No security researcher has ever posted this.

  yeah yeah, people said the same thing about google home and amazon alexa for years… until data leaks proved that was a lie, too.
