Just gonna leave this here...

@ostream NSA doesn't use those for criminal charges. I can bet these guys do tho.

@ostream plus, you're talking about an authoritarian religious regime. There's a massive difference.

@theKarlisK maybe not, but then again for what purpose this data is used is very very important.

@NoMad

> NSA doesn't use those for criminal charges.

I would not make this assumption.

@Demolishun sure. Let's wait and see how many of those are gonna get killed in the next two years. (I'm not even kidding)

@NoMad I think some already have. At least that I could find info on.

@ostream Yes, the USA has engaged in massive indoctrination/propaganda programs and used those to convince people to engage in false narrative wars through out the world.

@ostream not bullshit. The way I see it, I've heard of more iranians go missing than americans. So, between what "you've heard" and what "I've witnessed", I'm sorry if I can't take your side.
You wanna believe US is bad? Sure. I never said they were innocent. But just using death-rate, based on execution cuz of political crimes, iran wins the trophy and has been winning in many years. Mind you, even china has a less headcount per population point. (sure, they're racist, but that's a different story)

But that's not the point here. You never know who downloads the said games. Plus, some of these games were repackaged and distributed with spyware. (iiuc) and that's the reason why I left this here. That's what I wanted opinion on.

@theKarlisK that's often not an option because I need those apps to get by in everyday life. Such as banking, messaging, group messaging, checking stuff, etc. Plus google is the biggest thief of them all for info. I don't get to choose.
