The specificity and quantity of information the text and multimedia platform can access poses a risk to most users, if it falls into the wrong hands or is used to target them, tech experts agree.

“This is a hacker’s dream,” said Claudette McGowan, a longtime banking executive who founded Protexxa, a Toronto-based platform that uses artificial intelligence to rapidly identify and resolve cyber issues for employees.

Lol thats okay. We all getting screwed one way or another and Yea I dont even trust iOS. Theres a huge divide among regulars between iOS and Android. I dont understand why they start a whole debate on how one OS is better than another 🤦‍♂️ Regulars need to understand they will always be on the losing end especially 9-5s.

Absolutely. What’s keeping you from using both? I use everyone of them and I don’t get this whole fan base divide.
