So this fossy apps are safe? I have all apps from simple, but now i saw that israel owen them.

Yeah, the fossify apps are at least guaranteed to be safer than the simple ones from zipo. if you’re using simple apps, you ought to switch to the fossify forks.

Except for Waze, I haven’t ever heard of any of these apps.

And yet, if you look them up you’ll find many of them have tens of millions of downloads. It’s crazy the types of random shit people thoughtlessly download from the Play Store. The North Korean spy agency also had spyware apps on there until recently, targeting South Korean users.

What are these North Korean spy apps. For research…

Had to use gett when I visited Tel Aviv a few years back. That’s about it

Who else besides Waze can warn me if the police are nearby?!!!

Google Maps in Android Auto does it, but I think they use Waze data.

Google bought Waze, so at this point you’re probably not making any Israeli spies money if you make use of it. On the other hand, you’re making Google money, which is almost as bad.

google (along with most of tech) is lousy with isreali interests.
