That comment sparked insight into the actual problem suggested (if you read the full context).

Kinda scary for a government to require you to install spyware on your device.

I'm totally in favor of someone here in America writing a bypass for their spyware app for privacy of the citizens. Mass rebellion might work, I guess.

I think no one should be forced to use such spying technologies and make them self's as a puppet's of government. Mobile phones main purposes included keeping our personal content safe. If its just hampered by the government that means they are making the use of technology limited in the country.

I was also surprise to know that police are forcing people to install that app or else they will put some charges on the person which is totally a misuse of power.

Yep, and yep. It's an issue that people need to know. I think anyone that values privacy will agree with you.

I figured with all those Chinese school children spamming the forums, they'd see this thread an offer their own insight.

Bump for this. I'm pretty sure China and other totalitarian nations are still doing these naughty things.
