> No pinging of a central server is ever done Until the next time there is a terrorist attack or other scary event, and the opportunistic politicians say "We could have stopped this if only we had been keeping these pings in a database, just like we keep logs of everyone's internet metadata[0]. Don't worry, the database would only be looked at by AI, so it's not even a breach of your privacy." Then everyone is just a single firmware update away from a completely different regime, and it's too late to boycott the app because everyone assumes you have it and requires you to run the latest version. Of course, you could always try protesting, but you might not get very far.[1] [0] https://aboutintel.eu/european-metadata-retention/ [1] https://www.reuters.com/world/china/china-bank-protest-stopp... |
