The White House recently unveiled a new app to give the public “unfiltered” access to “key priorities,” “historic moments” and “policy breakthroughs.” Now, it’s directing agencies to help install it on the government phones of federal employees.
The Trump administration launched the app, which promises to “[keep] you connected to President Donald J. Trump and his administration like never before,” in March.
The push to install the app on the devices of millions of government employees drew surprise from current and former federal officials, who called the move highly unusual and even dangerous.
This doesn’t change anything, not practically.
ALWAYS assume everything you do on a device provided by your employer is being monitored
It absolutely does, in a number of ways. First, this thing could be straight up spying malware or could be updated to be such in the future.
It’s a ‘company phone’ you don’t control it; so you can’t trust anything on it.
Always use work provided devices only for work related stuff. There is every reason to believe the can and do monitor everything that happens on them.
This is true of government devices and private company devices.
It’s the “work related” stuff that I’m concerned about leaking.
Oh, that? Yeah, well …. Yeah. The entire administration is incompetent narcissists addicted to substances, with the most corrupt President ever at the head, so yeah. Audi don’t forget the pillaging that doge did. Idk, it’s a total mess, and all sorts of secrets and personal information is floating around now. :(
It injects content into websites, I’s say that changes a LOT actually.
You’re not exactly inspiring hope.
Why would you expect privacy on a work system?
