Starting today, apps made by state and federal governments are getting a new government badge to help users better identify official apps.
The badge will first appear on over 3,000 apps for 12 different countries.
I think its actually open souce, but they recently had a really bad security problem in their application and never really admitted that it was critical. So yeah im good for now, i really hate the move to storing the exact same data that was on a chip before, in an app that can have software problems and analytics.
That’s my thought as well. Our phones really do not need to become absolutely everything because then it becomes really easy to track and really terrible to lose which you are bound to do eventually.
