Jose Armstrong+FollowIs Government Spyware the New Normal?India’s recent push for a mandatory government app on all smartphones—Sanchar Saathi—has ignited a heated debate. While the app claims to protect users from scams and theft, critics argue it’s a slippery slope toward mass surveillance. With built-in location tracking and no option to disable, are we trading privacy for security? Or is this just the beginning of a global trend in digital oversight? Let’s discuss where the line should be drawn. #Tech #PrivacyMatters #TechDebate00Share
vincentwilson+FollowIs Your Chrome Extension Spying on You?Just when we thought browser extensions were here to help, Urban VPN Proxy’s latest update is harvesting every AI prompt and response you enter—across all major chatbots. The kicker? Over six million users are affected, and the data is funneled to an ad analytics firm owned by the same company. Is this the new normal for browser privacy, or a wake-up call for stricter extension oversight? #Tech #PrivacyMatters #AIEthics00Share
Kimberly Walters+FollowIs Your Favorite App a Secret Spy?Ever wondered if that handy app on your phone is actually tracking more than your steps? Modern spyware is so sneaky it can hide behind generic names and icons, draining your battery and sending your data to who-knows-where. I always check my app permissions and monitor battery usage—if something looks off, it probably is. Would you trust a security app to catch these digital spies, or do you rely on your own detective work? #Tech #PrivacyMatters #MobileSecurity00Share
Brandon Barrera+FollowWould You Trust a Smart Toilet Camera?So, Kohler just dropped a $599 smart toilet camera that analyzes your, uh, 'output' for gut health insights. But here’s the kicker: their so-called 'end-to-end encryption' isn’t what you think. The company can still access your data, which means your bathroom moments aren’t as private as you’d hope. Are we sacrificing too much privacy for convenience, or is this just the price of next-gen health tech? #Tech #SmartHome #PrivacyMatters00Share
calvinrowland+FollowIs Firefox Focus the Best iPhone Privacy Bet?Let’s talk browser wars on iOS. Firefox Focus stands out with its always-on private browsing and auto-clearing of history, but Apple’s WebKit rules mean it can’t flex its full privacy muscle like on Android or desktop. Is Focus’s stripped-down, single-tab approach enough to keep your data safe, or does iOS’s sandbox limit real privacy innovation? Would you trade features for more anonymity? #Tech #FirefoxFocus #PrivacyMatters00Share
chenmichele+FollowIs Your Roku Spying on You?Just picked up a new Roku or smart TV? Here’s a hot take: the real battle isn’t about streaming content, it’s about your data. Roku devices and many smart TVs are tracking what you watch—even through HDMI ports! You can dig into your privacy settings and shut down data sharing, but should you have to? Is this just the price of smart tech, or do we need stronger privacy standards? #Tech #SmartTV #PrivacyMatters00Share
