Since a few weeks ago, I've been dealing with the annoyance of the Mobile Services Manager (the famous DT Ignite, with a "nicer" name), which practically forces android device users to install proprietary applications, with abusive advertisements, when it does not install them without the user's permission (since it has abusive permissions to install and uninstall applications, as a system application).
What was once a periodic annoyance has now become almost daily, as Digital Turbine (in partnership with Samsung) is increasing the insistence on 'marketing' the device's notifications tab with an annoying advertisement called "find the next ideal app for you". Furthermore, it is impossible to remove the advertisement from the notification tab, only by deactivating the app (which evidently does not seem to be effective). Those who dare to click, even if accidentally, will encounter a white full screen, which forces the user to click next, forcibly encouraging them to install the apps from the screen, or deselect a giant list of apps not to be installed. Furthermore, these are installed as "silent notifications", so the user is only aware of their existence when he sees them on the device. I believe, that thousands of users are annoyed by this forced advertising, which violates the users' freedom and reinforces the need for our fight. Therefore, I would like to assess with you what we can do about it, from complaints to campaigns, I believe that any manifestation of society about this abuse to the user, is of great value! -- Kaio Duarte Costa (Kaiod) _______________________________________________ libreplanet-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.libreplanet.org/mailman/listinfo/libreplanet-discuss
