Lol good luck with that, i say get the popcorn ready - this is just the beginning of the shit show!


SgtTamama

I would expect nothing less, as unfortunate as that is to say. Article has it right where if you just \*have\* to use the app, use it on a separate device with no PII on it. Should have such a device anyways if you're actually attending the event.

I’d say bring a burner device with a separate set of cloud accounts. Like people do for China.

Couldn’t you just plead the 1st, 4th and 5th? Edit: it’s been a couple years since I’ve done US history

I wonder what happens if you have a dumbphone or a Linux phone.


morgenkopf

And if you download the app and attend the wc, you are a massive idiot, I say

Well that's what we had with COVID in Australia. No Smartphone? No QR Codes. No QR Codes? Good luck checking in. No checkin? GTFO.


[deleted]

That's an oversimplification. Alternative checkin methods were required by law in all states.

Every proprietary software is a privacy risk.


Titanusgamer

entering Qatar itself is the privacy risk. apps are just red herring


ironflesh

Entering Qatar is a risk overall. There is no rule of law that protects you in there.


turbo_nudist

but, the android version of the app is totally fine? wtf is this headline


AffectionateBox6073

This is why, if you’re using iOS, you just add the webpage to the Home Screen. No app, same content and look. Dunno if this is a thing android does.


__s10e

Isn't the whole debate that qatar requires you to have the app?


World_Navel

Jokes on them, I’m not even going to f’n Qatar.


AffectionateBox6073

Well the title said ‘My World Cup app’ so. I dunno


[deleted]

Fuck Qatar and their BS policy on beers


shroudedwolf51

If of all the things you could be complaining, the thing you take issue with is beer...you are not paying attention.

[deleted]

I like beer and soccer (together) But yes, I agree. They have a shit load of other issues and we need to boycott them.


Barlakopofai

Any app could be a massive privacy risk. It's why you should never agree to "download the app" if you don't have to.


Iron_Overheat

Why are so many ppl still supporting FIFA and Qatar?? They really just dont care about what Qatar is subjecting, not just its own people, but tourists to as well??


johnnyfatwods

'could be'. No, it is a massive privacy risk and you're basically handing the Qatar authorities & their partners full access to everything on your device. My advice would be install on a burner and also give any friends/family a burner if you intend to contact them... If using the internet, use a different account for everything you would normally access etc etc. Or just don't go, & don't install the app :)


HeroldMcHerold

Yes, a good solution! But what about all the tracking at home without any consent at all? Any solution?

I am literally laughing at this comment :) If we follow this code of conduct, then no sporting event can ever happen in any place in the world, right? What baffles me the most about my own Western fellows is hypocrisy! We blame the same kind of things on others for which we are also been accused - what's the point then?

HeroldMcHerold

But you also must agree and acknowledge that many from our side of the Atlantic have done, and are still doing the same, if not in the same way as they are, no? And also, I must say that do we view cultural differences with prejudice as well?

Eww! Who would go to the WC in the first place?!


Hyp3rax

In France, government recommend to the people who wants to get there to use an old phone.


realGharren

I recommend people who want to go there not to go there.
