Google removes over 300 spying apps from Play Store
Hey guys did you know Google has removed over 300 apps that included mobile games for teenagers from its Play Store on account of a spyware threat. The decision came after US-based cyber-security firm Lookout discovered more than 300apps that could spread spyware on mobile phones, Fortune reported late on yesterday.
According to Lookout, the apps used certain tricks that had the ability to covertly siphon people's personal data on their devices without alerting the app makers. The impacted apps included mobile games for teenagers, weather apps, online radio, photo editing, education, health, fitness and home video camera apps.
so check the detail before install the apps .
So more justifications for censorship, sure there are legitmate reasons for it but like the blacklisting of youtube accounts with an unpopular non advertiser friendly slant. It will give Google a reason to censor apps that they deem to gateways to other platforms that run up against there competition. Like Vid.me, Minds and eSteem that offer up an alternative to the orwellian level of censorship that Facebook, Twitter, Google + and Youtube employ.
