KvnqPrezo: Privacy online is not about google or any other tech company trying to hurt you it's about if you can trust them with their profiling of you? They gather toooo much information about you ( your mail, browser history, contacts list, google query, keyboard pressed etc). They know more about your internet life than yourself. The challenge then is that, system get hacked all of the time Infact in IT, it's a common slogan that their is no such thing as 100 percent security online. That being said, with the amount of information they collect about you, what happens if it gets in the wrong hand? You could be blackmailed, private life exposed etc and government can also request for your information at any time to use against you and government as we know is just as corrupt as corruption can be. See it like this, you use android, they know what you're doing on your phone , Use google : what did you search Google keyboard : everything you typed ever Gmail: every mail you've ever sent or read Chrome: every site you've ever visited Imagine if someone just just builds a case of paedophile against you that one time you out of curiosity googled child porn or beastiality or anything or you get arrested for calling the president a bad name in a chat with your friend . While it's an AI that profiles you not really a human being the challenge is they collect this much information, what if it ever leaks check that what happens when it leaks. It's just a matter of time really. Millions of information about people are being sold on the dark web and guess what, they are not going to be liable. Take a time out to read the license agreement sometime before you just click agree and next sometime you'll see how well they cover their asses. I ain't saying don't use Allo, am just pointing out the genuine reason for privacy concerns. 3 Likes 1 Share |

salauwale: Nawa o, what you just wrote now is like those Babaláwos who give out charms but are silent on the terms and conditions. How many really want to read the agreement? Coincidentally, the devil lives in these details. Even for most apps, some permissions are unnecessary and unrelated to their performances. After the Merkel incident, Germans were wiser with the use of BlackBerry. For the Russians and Chinese, anything from US et al needs to be treated with a long spoon of caution. Hallo world! 1 Like |

KvnqPrezo:Youre most welcome. Google the yahoo breach news that just broke, over 400 millions accounts and since 2014 too. Imagine how much damage that would have being done and they didn't even have the decency to tell users to change their passwords or take any precautions. |
