When Free Software Isn't Really Free, Your Data is the Product! 💻💰
December 15, 2021
In this blog, I will discuss the recent happenings with the Antivirus company Avast. Avast has recently been caught selling user web browsing data via a subsidiary company called Jumpshot.
Some of this Data that Avast has been selling includes:
Google searches
Lookups of locations
GPS coordinates
people visiting companies
particular YouTube videos
people visiting porn websites
Avast should know most users don't want their data being collected and sold, maybe its time to uninstall Avast.
