Cum știe tot regimul lui Putin despre aproape fiecare rus? „Uşa din dos” a aplicației Max, pe model chinezesc • Newsweek România

Russia has developed a mobile super-app called Max, modeled after China's WeChat, which allows extensive user surveillance through a backdoor. Millions of Russians have been compelled to install Max for internet access, as it integrates messaging and payment services. The app, linked to the state, has become the most popular messaging platform in the country. Research indicates that Max can capture screenshots and access user data without consent, raising concerns about digital authoritarianism. The app's capabilities reflect a growing trend in government surveillance, with implications for other nations considering similar control mechanisms.
