Interesting only Android users are targeted thanks to Google's frivolous approach to privacy and surveillance. At what point does Google take responsibility?
Here is an OS and permission system that works against its users based on open source technology by a surveillance loving company actively involved in building a techno dystopia. That summarizes everything wrong with tech today.
But even worse is the army of short sighted and self serving apologists happy to hand wave and diminish everything when not muddying the waters. If this is what a football league is doing one can only imagine what governments and other nefarious interests are upto with Android. When surveillance infrastructure is there it will be used exactly for that.

- Scoundreller 8y agoMy other thinking is ROI. The people with the $100 Android phones were perceived as more likely to watch a black-market broadcast.

- acjohnson55 8y agoYou always have to explicitly approve recording, and I pretty sure permission monitor can alert you when background recording is happening. It does this for background location usage, for sure. Granted, the Apple App Store review process would probably have shot down this app.
