Still Trust Everything?

INTERNET giant Facebook is accessing smartphone users’ personal text messages, an investigation revealed today.

Facebook admitted reading text messages belonging to smartphone users who downloaded the social-networking app and said that it was accessing the data as part of a trial to launch its own messaging service, The (London) Sunday Times reported.

Other well-known companies accessing smartphone users’ personal data – such as text messages – include photo-sharing site Flickr, dating site Badoo and Yahoo Messenger, the paper said.

It claimed that some apps even allow companies to intercept phone calls – while others, such as YouTube, are capable of remotely accessing and operating users’ smartphone cameras to take photographs or videos at any time.

Security app My Remote Lock and the app Tennis Juggling Game were among smaller companies’ apps that may intercept users’ calls, the paper said.

Emma Draper, of the Privacy International campaign group, said, “Your personal information is a precious commodity, and companies will go to great lengths to get their hands on as much of it as possible.”

More than 400,000 apps can be downloaded to Android phones, and more than 500,000 are available for iPhones – with all apps downloaded from Apple’s App Store covered by the same terms and conditions policy.

According to a YouGov poll for the newspaper, 70 per cent of smartphone users rarely or never read the terms and conditions policy when they download an app.

If everyone started reading the Terms of Conditions before registering or even downloading an application, the world would be a safer place and the companies running the show would have a hard time accessing your content or spying on you.

Do know why the ToS is long and boring and full of jargon, it’s because they know that not everyone reads them and even if someone reads it, they would pretty much just agree with it and sign up. By agreeing to the ToS you pretty much give them access to do whatever they want as long as they don’t break the ToS, which they don’t.

Spying on smartphones is pretty common, thanks to the tons of applications out there, it’s quite easy for some company to monitor your cell usage and even read your message because after all your installed the application and whatever form they asked you to read and agree, you did it in an instant.

If I presented you with a long ToS and told you after signing this, you will be able to download tons of movies and whatnot, you will without a doubt agree to it, even though that same ToS allows me to take pictures of you, monitor your life, send data to my servers and sell every bit of information you have to anyone willing to buy.

You don’t need to imagine a world where everything is being monitored, we’re already living in one, trust is something that doesn’t exist anymore even as I type this article I am fearful of what my ISP is doing with my connection information.

You see while everyone cried about SOPA and PIPA and then moaned about ACTA, my Country went ahead and pretty much started blocking websites on the fly. They blocked it by saying it’s obscene, website like pastebin are blocked, I called recall having a hard-on by watching ASCII porn because that’s the best pastebin could do, but hey they do paste some interesting information which exposes everyone else, so they banned it.

The banned other websites as well. I am surprised they haven’t banned half the Internet already, maybe they’re planning too. I am used to getting treated like shit but what amazes me is how people in the developed Country get trolled so easily.

Listen guys, you’re pretty much living a fake existence, you don’t have any rights, you’re just like me. At a moment notice, I would be taken into custody and beheaded and no one could do anything to prevent that, same applies to you guys. Instead of be reading you, they will monitor you and take away what is left of your fake freedom.

My family and everyone I know have been blinded by Religion and fake politics, I have no freedom apart from posting text and even that I have to censor to a great extent. Think about it, you’re watched by CCTV cams, your ISP monitors your usage, your most visited website like Facebook spy on you, they keep a track of what you do and when you do it and they’re pretty much aware of what you’re talking to your friends.

Technology is good if used correctly, I avoid using Cellphones and I don’t own an Ipad or an Iphone. I don’t need it, you don’t need it too.  Stop being jerked around by others, open your eyes.

Watch the video below. My friend TDR has been pointing things out for a very long time, but it’s true. We’re all screwed.

Trust, it doesn’t exist anymore. Open your eyes & stop being controlled.
