      From: monty@roscom.com              Massachusetts launched a COVID tracking app, and uh, it was automatically       installed?!              By Ron Amadeo              Over the weekend, Google and the state of Massachusetts managed to       make creepy COVID tracking apps even creepier by automatically       installing them on people's Android phones. Numerous reports on       Reddit, Hacker News, and in-app reviews claim that "MassNotify,"       Massachusetts' COVID tracking app, silently installed on their Android       device without user consent.                     https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/06/even-creepier-covid-trac       ing-google-silently-pushed-app-to-users-phones/              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
