Just uninstall it by using Canta, no? Note: I’m not from India
It would be really funny to hack that system and force on everyone’s flashlights and vibration
And downright hilarious to compromise financials and MFA.
It’s be a real riot to make a botnet
Soon available in every country, no doubt, as obviously we all deserve to be… protected from our-naughty-selves.
Credit where due: Apple saying ‘fuck you, make us.’
Smartphones are now dead in India
They have already been arresting people for using VPNs: https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/man-booked-for-using-vpn-in-j-ks-rajouri-3rd-such-case-in-2-days-5612508
But is it illegal to remove it ?
Well then use ADB
Read the article
Then you’ll still have no idea like me :)
Union Minister for Communications Jyotiraditya Scindia claimed on Tuesday that the Sanchar Saathi app, a fraud reporting app the government wants pre-installed on all devices, will be optional and can be deleted by users.
“… If you don’t want Sanchar Saathi, you can delete it. It is optional… It is our duty to introduce this app to everyone. Keeping it in their devices or not is up to the user,” he said to reporters.
So it sounds like it can be removed, though I can’t help but feel like it might leave malicious artifacts (this is based on absolutely no evidence and is purely speculation on my part)
What does the app actually do? They call it an anti-fraud app, but I don’t understand what fraud it’s supposed to fight?
It probably scans installed apps, settings that could compromise access (for eg USB debugging, bootloader unlocking), apk files in storage, etc all while sending juicy infometrics to an unsecured database
Next in news: a govt database was leaked…
Can someone summerize the article, for some reason it thinks I’m using AdBlock despite not and won’t let me actually read it
ahh the good old “it is for your own good”
Thanks, that is indeed dystopian
