Edward Snowden’s Haven app turns an Android device into a laptop security guard

in #haven7 years ago (edited)

Edward Snowden may be most (in)famous for his whistleblowing ways, but he’s set to prove that he’s capable of much more than leaking NSA secrets. The former CIA employee is keeping up his fight against digital surveillance, and this time, it’s in the form of an app. Meet Haven, Snowden’s new app that is meant to turn any Android phone into “a motion, sound, vibration and light detector, watching for unexpected guests and unwanted intruders.” Created with investigative journalists, human rights activists, and others “at risk of forced disappearance” in mind, Haven is said to leverage the existing sensors in a smartphone to prevent folks from “silencing citizens without getting caught in the act.”

Interesting and thanks for the info.

I am puzzled by the RT video. It shows the same info twice! Anybody know why this happens so often on YT? Do you earn more if your video is longer?
