The dangers of smart phone 'computing'

One of the best self sponsored surveillance devices is the mobile phone.

Previously your location via tower triangulation was contained within the telecommunications company where at least officially a warrant was needed for other government actors to access this information.

With the advent of smart phones a new level of surveillance and location accuracy can be obtained with the addition of cameras and GPS chips and other sensors within the consumer grade device.

This data has now become easily harvested from the device with the help of apps or programs.

The respective app stores by Apple and Google have been around for over a decade, where programs contain 'malicious' code detrimental to the user's privacy and security, but only just recently this is being addressed.

Governments are promoting their services via Android / Google app only choices therefore putting the user's privacy / security at risk, where the more cost effective solution would be a device independent browser based service.

Since the agenda of governments is to monitor and control the movements of the serf population, more data can be easily harvested by a government controlled app, like the whereabouts of a Centrelink 'customer' claiming unemployment benefits from a holiday resort via their smartphone app, than from a more secure platform on a personal computer, with anonymising software and no inserted GPS chip.

An example of obtaining location information is highlighted within the screen capture of an article from the UK's dailymail where a paedophile police officer used this data to rape a young girl.

If a member from the administration (i.e. a judge, MP,  police officer, etc) had the same done to their child there would not doubt be an expedited overhaul of the law.

The problem is that the general population has been conned into relying on their (deliberately insecure) consumer grade smart phones, 'enticed' into putting their entire lives 'online' leaving 'breadcrumbs' in their wake for other to use.

Since most on social media are using their smart phones to log in, it seems that this will not change at least in the very near future anyway, as privacy / security does not really seem to be a concern for the serfs.

We do not recommend to log in to any services from your smart phone.
