Actually OONI tests is absolute useless to find anything bad, All the
tests being done can be known trivially by using the internet e.g:
- check for websites blockage
- check for Tor blockage
- check for Internet speed
..etc
Which one of that need magic/effort to be known? child using the
internet in that area can give you all the results without the need to
run this OONI app
The current development/developers are giving garbage application.
It should give results for middle boxes , DNS/TLS hijacking ...etc
something useful/worth to run OONI for.
One of the funny things it test for whatsapp if its blocked, But it
doenst do that for signal or element/matrix where they are more
important than the malware whatsapp... What a waste of effort and money
Christian Pietsch:
Dear Maria,
dear OONI Probe users,
having used OONI Probe on Android devices in the past, I was shocked
to find out today that at least the version distributed via Google's
Play Store seems to contain two trackers, namely Countly and Google
Firebase Analytics: https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/reports/161999/
Countly is UK based. They admit that they collect personal data from
users as defined in the GDPR: https://count.ly/legal/privacy-policy
Regarding Google (Firebase) Analytics, we know they collect any data
they can. Trackers are spyware. Don't use apps that contain them!
F-Droid provides a version of OONI Probe to Android users that is
tracker-free – like all apps in this app store. I double-checked it
using the Exodus software mentioned above on the command line.
https://f-droid.org/de/packages/org.openobservatory.ooniprobe/
Why don't you provide a clean version of your app to the majority of
Android users who still rely on Google's Play Store, OONI?
Cheers,
Christian
