194465Η επίσημη streaming εφαρμογή της Ισπανικής ποδοσφαιρικής λίγκας La Liga, κάνει χρήση του μικροφώνου των συσκευών των χρηστών της στην Ισπανία, για να καταγράφει και να εντοπίζει παράνομες αναμεταδόσεις των αγώνων, σε δημόσιους χώρους -εστιατόρια, μπαρ κ.α.
Η εφαρμογή ζητάει τυπικά την άδεια να κάνει χρήση του μικροφώνου και του GPS για τον εντοπισμό των παράνομων προβολών, αλλά η επεξήγηση είναι "θαμμένη" στα ψιλά γράμματα της user agreement.
La Liga has defended its app, saying that pirated broadcasts of its football games cost the company “losses of more than 150 million euros,” and that La Liga activates devices’ microphones “to develop statistical patterns on soccer consumption and to detect fraudulent operations of the retransmissions of La Liga football matches.”
La Liga also reportedly claimed that user privacy is not at risk because the app turns audio recordings into code and doesn’t record or save any data locally, though I suspect that won’t make anyone feel better if they’ve just learned their phone has been snooping on them while they watch football.
