Once planted, the app changes its icon on the phone’s home screen, making the spyware difficult to detect and remove. WebDetetive then immediately begins stealthily uploading the contents of a person’s phone to its servers, including their messages, call logs, phone call recordings, photos, ambient recordings from the phone’s microphone, social media apps, and real-time precise location data.

Leaving this information in servers accessible to anyone willing to put a few dozen hours into picking away at them is terrifyingly negligent. The market for this app is parents and significant others, people who traditionally care about you. At that point, you’ve already failed them and yourself.

Trans, gay, social welfare, race, healthcare, etc.. It’s truly unfortunate that I fully believe that we’re going to get trump2 in a few years when this idea spreads. It’s catchy and lacks perspective.

Who’re you looking to vote for in the coming presidential election?

Having been party to the wrong end of a genocide, a simple “my bad” would be nice. Japan’s radio silence allows opinions to fester.

These posts are exhaustingly far from the reality of the situation. Please don’t make the fediverse kick the puppy that is your optimistic opinion, OP.

Edit: OP downvoted everyone who disagreed with him.

It’s a bit sad that some of the most creative greentexts involve so much casual racism. My favorite makes a random guy at a gas station out to be the schizo personification of a cheap spent cigarette, and you can absolutely taste the sour air stagnating around the writer.

Everything after “my house” seems a bit superfluous. The memes below might as well be emojis or bright red arrows and circles pointing at snoop dogg’s 40x jpg compressed joke.

If there were an assurance of safety in advertising then I’d be fine with accepting ads. Insurance or somesuch. Credit card stolen by a pickpocket in a crowded street? Cancel, reverse charges, out an hour, a card replacement fee, and a few weeks of fuming as police do nothing. Multiple compromised devices on your network? Tough luck, buddy. Shouldn’t have used a well trusted site. Enjoy your months of confusion and hundreds spent.

I lose nothing from blocking ads. Ads aren’t an experience to try out, as if pusillanimity has something to do with it. When sites go back to stock banner ads, I’m back in.

You are right, I’m sequestering myself by avoiding malvertising on my expensive electronics. If you have any additional tips to aid in sequestering further, I’ll listen to those.

I do feel bad about it on occasion. But then. I remember getting the ol’ rootkit/worm combo from gamefaqs and forgive myself. These sites have long since lost my trust.

What, are you trying to suggest that anon lied on MY INTERNET??

This reminded me, does anyone know what the profit margin on ambulance trips are? They must surely be outrageous, but to what degree?
