an application that sends "Yo!" to your friends. That's all he does. Hacked by eight o'clock in the top five applications, worth $ 10 million. What is interesting is that completely shreds the spy agencies "it's just metadata" argument.
Spy agencies like the US NSA and GCHQ has recently invented the concept of "metadata" in communications for legal purposes. More specifically, they invented in order legally wiretap the phone calls and conversations of ordinary people. legally, they say, anyway
If you look closely at this issue, you can find a defensive line being rehashing again and again and again. "We WireTap all of the talking, just the metadata." Metadata is all but conversation: who talks to whom, when, where, and how. (It turns out that the spy agencies were recording all conversations too, but we'll ignore for a minute for the sake of this argument.)
In this way, the spy agencies managed to get criminal charges for their actions ... well, far actually. But the "Yo" app puts harsh light on how hollow and absurd the argument "it's just metadata" is.
With "Yo," he is no conversation. All this sends is "Yo". No more no less. Therefore, any communication using this application is literally all metadata, , yet is obviously part of private correspondence of any kind.
Before, these arguments were rather convoluted, trying to protest that he was a private matter you mentioned, and spy agencies want to try to turn on layers shrouds legal, ethical or not.
Yo But the application ends that.
metadata is not just part of the conversation. Yo with it is conversation. Therefore, the initial justification for the spy agencies and the legal invention "metadata", as opposed to the protected correspondence does not hold a water centiliter.
