If you play angry birds you may want to be aware that the NSA may be watching. According to docs leaked by Edward Snoden while your wasting time, having fun playing your game on your phone the government may be watching. The information that they look at may be you age, sex, and who your freinds are. Kind scary huh? The makers of the game Rovio released the the following statement:
Rovio Entertainment Ltd, which is headquartered in Finland, does not share data, collaborate or collude with any government spy agencies such as NSA or GCHQ anywhere in the world.
There has been speculation in the media that NSA targets Angry Birds to collect end user data. The speculation is based on information from documents leaked by Edward Snowden.
The alleged surveillance may be conducted through third party advertising networks used by millions of commercial web sites and mobile applications across all industries. If advertising networks are indeed targeted, it would appear that no internet-enabled device that visits ad-enabled web sites or uses ad-enabled applications is immune to such surveillance. Rovio does not allow any third party network to use or hand over personal end-user data from Rovio’s apps.
