the person goes into detail about what it tracks.

Android is even worse: allows for downloading a remote zip file, unzipping it, and executes the file.

This person also reverse engineered Facebook, Twitter, etc and these apps don't collect nearly enough info.

      TrumpVirus interesting perspective on freedom of speech. One might consider the differences in how laws restricting freedom of speech are applied. For instance, you could compare the implications of a normal citizen denouncing their government. It's also important to note the differences in how these laws might be defined in either country, or historical precedence in how they're enforced. While I can see the benefits of a governmental structure like China, I wonder if People's Rebulic is appropriate in it's naming.

      One is Corporation collecting data for profit. The other in addition to profit, is collecting to monitor what people say about a gov institution, and if bad, CCP can take action.

      usually need to build your own network and have enough contrarian tech VCs and tech people in your follower list to come across this stuff. Thankfully, i follow some ex Uber, Paypal mafia, and Founders Fund people otherwise tech twitter can be an echo chamber
