If you want a video about how YOU should demand that the EU #DeleteArt13 of the #EUCopyrightDirective, maybe start with this one:
If you would like an authoritative voice regards why we YOU need to act to get the EU to #DeleteArt13 - to avoid the Internet and Web being swamped with a "Link Tax", here is the perspective of German Euro-MP, Julia Reda: juliareda.eu/2018/05/censor… 
Time for a new thread. The #android #application called @moinsbete is one of the most downloaded applications in France. This app is sending without your consent your personal data to @mopub:
- location
- operator
- mcc
- mnc
- country
- screen size
- location
- operator
- mcc
- mnc
- country
- screen size
Yes, all these requests to @mopub are HTTP requests... Welcome to 2018...
This is a very good example of data abuse. Every time you open the @moinsbete #android #app with location on, your location is send without your consent to an US based server owned by @mopub
When you create a profile in the official @narendramodi #Android app, all your device info (OS, network type, Carrier …) and personal data (email, photo, gender, name, …) are send without your consent to a third-party domain called in.wzrkt.com.
This domain is classified as a phishing link by the company G-Data. This website is hosted by @GoDaddy and the whois info are hidden.
After a quick search, this domain belongs to an American company called @CleverTap. According to their description, “#CleverTap is the next generation app engagement platform. It enables marketers to identify, engage and retain users and provides developers"
1. I'm tweeting a lot these last days, let make a quick recap
2. @Gioneeglobal, a Chinese phone maker who sell his phone in the US under the name @BLU_Product, made a phone for #NorthKorea. Afaik, they didn't make a public statement.
Hi @UIDAI 👋! Do I have to explain you how real #Android developers are working?
On his official #Playstore account. @UDAI published today an app called "NewTest" with blank screenshot and testingtestingtesting[...] as description 🤦♂️

They also have a 3rd app called "testBeta (Unreleased)" 🤦♂️. Yes, they called an "Unreleased" an app released on the PlayStore 🤦♂️...
@UIDAI maybe your interns can read this link support.google.com/googleplay/and… to know how to set up an alpha/beta tests...

Regarding how they used their #PlayStore account, I'm pretty sure they are unable to update the official #Aadhaar #android app because they lost the release key. Please @UIDAI, show me I'm wrong
