a whatsapp message..
and reply to it - 'hacks' your 'phone' - android!!!
..and u lose - ur life savings..
surely makes a case of 'app store' or its 'authority'..
in checking legal apps - for their 'impact' or lack of security..
but the broader picture is clear..
somewhere down the line ..
identity of customer : was hijacked from govt/bank issued 'creds'..
to otp of telcos..
to otp of global elite chosen 'companies'..
so in a way - our govt sold our trust - to desi, den national den - global..
with no idea of privacy or security - just 55 iq approval
the case is for 'identity' and govts of the world - lending it to global techbros.
no solutions - just making god out of pappy pichai and his lack of engineering.
mandroid - has to be made : for apps on phone - need to be open source..
and have 'identity' built as module..
so 'trust' of bakwass apps - is not delegated to the juruholes who created this dystopia.
...//i dont want to rite any of this..
..but if i dont - no1 would.
google pays ur media - news and opinions.
