You have, of course, familiarized yourself with this material: Common Article 3; GC I Art. 12 & 18; GC III Art. 13; GC IV Arts. 27, 32 & 51; AP I Arts. 48, 51(2–5), 57 & 54; CCW Amended Protocol II Art. 7(2) of the Geneva Conventions.
What’s striking is how often these ‘small’ surveillance tech stories trace back to the same state-aligned ecosystem. When Israel does it, it’s treated as a complex security issue. When another ‘bad’ country does the same thing, we immediately call it espionage. And almost on cue, the discussion drifts anywhere except the uncomfortable fact that it’s the same ecosystem from the same country showing up again.
AppCloud is not only in India. It is on some OEM version of the phone in the US as well. How did I know? My phone had random notifications promoting apps that I had never heard of, and I couldn't find a way to disable them. Eventually I found and removed it via adb. These scumbags.
Any chance you can remember the package name? It's not mentioned in the article or ones it linked to, and I can't quickly find it on my phone. There is the vaguely named "application recommendations" that going by a quick search should be com.samsung.android.mapsagent
for t-mobile

I mean, it's literally the same thing that happens when past genocides are bad, but when they happen today from an ally of the west... "it's complicated". Except this time happens on the technological side rather than the humanitarian one
> an ally of the west Remind me again of all the help Israel has provided the USA/the West that they are considered such a great (the greatest, in fact) ally?

Western values include, among other things, a commitment to equality and human rights, not apartheid[1] and genocide[2].

Uhhhh, not sure about you, but I wouldn't want anything Israeli within 10m of my phone.
If you want to _really_ bar anything of Israeli origin, you should: - Not use Intel processors, as many are developed in Haifa - Not use a firewall. It was invented in the IDF. - Not use Waze. It's Israeli. - Not use thumb drives. Invented in Israel. - Not eat cherry tomatoes. Israeli development. The list goes on and on, but I must add - if you ever suffer a serious head or stomach injury, tell the medics to not use…

ROFL. Best step up to your words and throw away your phone then. All major tech companies and chip manufacturers have R&D and design centers in Israel.
