Microsoft, Apple and Google in the crosshairs of the Brazilian authorities

secret in Brazil

A piece of news traveled the whole world and yet very few people came to know about it; in it came to mention in a primordial way Apple and Microsoft before the Brazilian justice, Those who do not comply with or abide by certain resolutions of their legislation, could be credited with a large fine and penalty.

All this is developed around certain applications that would have been placed in the respective Apple and Microsoft stores, same as have been censored by the Brazilian authorities and that right now, they are no longer present in these stores. Because? Well, we will explain it to you below.

Applications from Apple and Microsoft stores suspended in Brazil

We are not referring to the fact that all the applications that are part of the stores of these firms have been canceled but rather, to one of them specifically. Speaking of Apple Store, recently in this store the application called "Secret" was promoted, which had the possibility of make it possible for your users to send "completely anonymous" messages, which suggested that these messages could not be traced at any time. If we talk about Microsoft now, in its respective store there was also a tool with similar characteristics, which instead has the name of «cryptic»And which has also been banned in Brazil.

If you go to the respective stores to try to find the tools we have mentioned, you will find a message that says: «the application is available»(Only in Brazil); For what reason did this arise? Simply because a lot of young students began to be harassed with anonymous messages, something that came to greatly concern the Brazilian authorities and that was the main reason why the 3 firms (Microsoft, Apple and Google) were asked to suspend any type of tool and especially, those that were previously suggested, from their respective stores .
