People should comprehend that apps can (and many do) contain
‘malicious’ code which can be detrimental to the user’s (and their contacts)
privacy and security.
With regards to the so called novel coronavirus, the
mainstream media has demonised people who, for whatever reasons, do not wish to
download the Australian Government’s COVID-19 app.
They coined the term “anti-appers” with the understating
that it is analogous to “anti-vaxxers” also stating that it is as dangerous,
where the claim is erroneous.
Since the advent of the novel coronavirus many have referred
to historical documentation regarding viruses, death statistics and how
government deals with for example the flu, etc, where the bulk of the
information is in a document format called a pdf (Portable Document Format)
file, which is totally independent of any mobile or personal computer platform.
So, if one does not download the (currently non disclosed
source code) government COVID app, then they’ll extract the information they
require another way.
They will remove the pdf files you seek, where the ONLY way
to obtain the information, is to ‘purchase*’ the app, once again a closed
source program, NOT open to public scrutiny, as it should be.
Remember the saying “Nothing to hide, nothing to fear”?
So, show ‘us’ the
source code to the apps that you want us to purchase.
After all WE (the taxpayers) paid for those apps where we
have EVERY right to know what the app is doing to OUR hardware.
'Forcing' persons to purchase (government) apps is part of the nanny state agenda.
* Purchase – The purchase of an app may be gratis, but you DO pay
for it in other ways, where mostly you provide information to the app store and
the developer which is used to generate profit for both entities.
