The Social Credit App (part 2)


There is a social media messaging app that has become immensely popular in one particular country, and that government has not only taken notice of its popularity, but has made sure there isn't any choice but to use this app if you have a smartphone. This has been accomplished by banning competitor apps from the country, making them unavailable to citizens. How much does this app monitor its users, and where does that information go? In an Amnesty International study conducted in 2016, the security of user information on this app was rated 0 out of 100, measuring both user freedom of speech protection and end-to-end protection.
