Google Distributes Surveillance Technology Developed by Chinese Company

Commentary

This article is part of a series on corporate surveillance, highlighting civil liberty, privacy, cybersecurity, safety, and tech-product user exploitation threats associated with connected products that are supported by the Android (Google) OS, Apple iOS, and Microsoft Windows OS. 

In part 1 of this article, Business Users of Smartphones May be Breaking the Law, I addressed the use of smartphones within a confidential and protected environment such as the defense industry, critical infrastructure, government, and legal and medical profession.

My findings, coupled with admissions made by T-Mobile and Verizon, led to the conclusion that smartphones, tablet PCs, voice-automated assistants, connected products, and PCs supported by surveillance and data-mining business practices should not be used within a confidential and protected environment.

All products concerned are supported by intrusive pre-installed content that will leak confidential and protected telecommunications, information, and data to numerous unauthorized third-parties such as AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, Sprint, Google, Apple, Microsoft, Samsung, Facebook, Amazon, Baidu, and other telecom and tech giants.

The article concluded that it may, in fact, be illegal to use any smartphone or connected technology supported by surveillance and data-mining content, such as apps, within a confidential and protected environment governed by confidentiality agreements, non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), industry and federal cyber security standards, federal information processing standards (FIPS), and confidentiality laws that govern medical information, client–attorney privilege, and classified information.
