The V1.ru correspondent tried to figure out what it is - convenience or an attempt on personal data?

GetContact is the number one free smartphone app. Despite his popularity, he came to the attention of Roskomnadzor. The application was recently banned in Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan. Why was it sanctioned if it was originally intended to protect against spam? There is an opinion that it was created to pump out information by gaining access to user contacts, which is a prerequisite for installation. To date, about three billion contacts from all over the world are available in the application. On the other hand, using GetContact, you can check an unknown number "for lice".

My name with smiley

It is a pity that it is not possible to find out who exactly I am recorded with one way or another, - the correspondent checks his smartphone. - The application does not have such a function. In the posts of friends and acquaintances, it was displayed neutrally or even positively with a smiley at the end. In most cases, I am written by last name, though not always correctly. Some people still associate me with the places of my former work.

Puppies and cats

As it turned out, some owners of electronic phone books played a cruel joke on the fate of several people, without suspecting it. There are already a lot of stories on the Internet when wives arranged to check the phone number of their husbands. Some of them were displayed as "baby" or "cat". A sad incident happened to a girl who was highlighted by a gynecologist as "Narmina (hymenoplasty)". Her husband filed for divorce after learning that she had lost her virginity before she married.

“Horror, we download it for fun, but in the end? In my notebook, more than 50 STRANGERS UNFAMILIAR to me numbers have been added.

“This program has already been banned in many countries of the world! Some kind of hacker application ”I foolishly downloaded it, and then I read the reviews. No privacy policy!”

“My friend downloaded the app, leaking my phone number. Bottom line: I’m on the third day, or rather the night, with a frequency of an hour, spam is pouring into WatsApp. ”

“Good app. All unknown numbers are identified. And at the expense of the fact that the data will be stolen, I have nothing to worry about, and so everything was already stolen, everything that was necessary.

“I put it on the device with the left SIM card, I didn’t give access to contacts and calls, I registered through a fake Facebook account. He punched his number and several numbers of acquaintances - he knows both me by name and theirs "
