Google was released yesterday the second messaging application he had announced during Google I / O. The Google Allo app is available for download from yesterday, but apparent privacy features are missing.
The Google Allo application is undoubtedly a very exciting conversation application, and certainly an alternative to choosing between other applications, such as Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp.
But something is wrong:
Όταν η Google ανακοίνωσε για πρώτη φορά το Allo, δήλωσε ότι θα εστιάζει σε νέες δυνατότητες προστασίας της ιδιωτικής ζωής και ότι δεν θα αποθηκεύει μηνύματα επ’αόριστον, αλλά μόνο παροδικά. Υποσχέθηκε encryption end-to-end in incognito mode.
Yes, the final version of Allo released yesterday stores messages indefinitely, up to user αποφασίσει να τα διαγράψει. Η ανώνυμη περιήγηση έρχεται με κρυπτογράφηση end-to-end και οι users έχουν τη δυνατότητα να ορίσουν ένα χρονοδιακόπτη για automatic διαγραφή των μηνυμάτων, όπως ακριβώς και στην εφαρμογή WhatsApp. Όμως η Google είχε ανακοινώσει και ένα άλλο χαρακτηριστικό προστασίας της ιδιωτικής ζωής τον περασμένο Μάιο. Υποσχέθηκε ότι οι συνομιλίες δεν θα αποθηκεύονται στους servers of her, something that, as everything seems, is not going to change.
The reason;
It's Google's new AI technology, Google Assistant. Google Assistant using Allo reads the messages and learns the user's behavior by providing answers, even pictures.
To do this, Allo needs to have access to as much data as possible, so Google has decided that the best way was to store messages on its servers. However, this move shows that privacy is being negotiated for Google Assistant.
"Even Eduard Snowden said on his Twitter account that the Google Allo app logs every message you send and will make it available to the police if requested."
What is So? And a Google app that records every message you ever send and makes it available to the police upon request. https://t.co/EdPRC0G7Py
