The digital rights group Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has released an app to help smartphone users put an “end to NSA mass spying,” according to a screenshot posted on the Google Play Store.
According to the app's description on Google's distribution website, the Electronic Frontier Foundation wants us to continue fighting for your rights in the digital age and is trying to empower the crowd's crusade as much as it can.
The first of three images released to promote the app states that the Electronic Frontier Foundation's app allows you to fight against NSA mass surveillance. Easier said than done, however..
The app can be used for (from the official description):
– Calling or emailing the US Congress to help advocate for better technology laws.
– Tweeting at the White House to ask for better policies.
– Helping get the word out about a specific project or campaign the Electronic Frontier Foundation is running.
– Taking actions internationally to help preserve digital rights in your country, and around the world.
The app was intended for Android and iOS devices, but due to conflicting views between Apple and the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the app will not be released for iPhone and iPad.
In fact, the Electronic Frontier Foundation's app would allow iDevice owners to express their dissatisfaction through the app, but Apple has no intention of distributing such an app from its iTunes Store.
Those of you who have an Android device can find the application here.
