Shame on Samsung.

[MZMZMZM]

Samsung is facing criticism after reports revealed that its A and M series smartphones come pre-installed with "UpCloud," an undeletable app developed by Israeli firm Iron Source. The app allegedly collects sensitive user data including biometrics, IP addresses, and device fingerprints without clear consent, particularly targeting users in North Africa and West Asia.

Digital rights organization SMEX has demanded transparency from Samsung, calling for full disclosure of the app's data collection practices and a way for users to opt out without compromising device security. The app, embedded in the phone's OS, cannot be removed without advanced technical access, raising serious privacy and security concerns.

This controversy highlights potential violations of GDPR and regional data protection laws, putting Samsung under scrutiny for its partnership with the Israeli firm since 2022. Should tech giants force undeletable software on users?

It’s quite perplexing how some individuals, after purchasing a relatively inexpensive device, feel entitled to harshly criticize the company and post negative remarks without understanding the broader picture.

Running a tech business—especially at the scale of global smartphone manufacturing—involves intricate strategies, regulatory hurdles, supply chain complexities, and extensive compliance protocols. Even obtaining a single certification or license for a device can be a prolonged and resource-intensive process.

Before jumping to conclusions or spreading negativity, it’s important to consider the scale and complexity of the operations behind what seems like a simple product.

And just to clarify—I'm not blindly defending any brand, including Samsung. I simply believe in recognizing merit where it's due and approaching criticism with awareness and perspective.

Bro, I’ve been using Samsung for 15 years. I’m literally writing this from my S24 Ultra while my S25 Ultra and iPhone 16 Pro Max are charging. So your ‘cheap phone criticism’ logic probably applies to you, not me.

What I raised isn’t some petty complaint—it’s about serious privacy violations. Not everyone is like you, blindly defending brands without understanding the issue. If you don’t have the knowledge, at least try not to disrespect those who do.

I couldn’t help but laugh at your comment—especially the part where you mentioned being a 15-year Samsung user and writing from the S24 while the S25 and iPhone are charging. That definitely made your stance crystal clear.

It’s funny how such replies often reveal more about the person than the topic itself. Also, your response says a lot about how seriously you take others' concerns—or rather, don’t.

While I appreciate the humor, it’s also a reminder of how quickly discussions can become biased or dismissive. But hey, thanks for the laugh!

And I know without searching on the internet you can't tell what phone Samsung launched 15 years ago.. telling me I ammm a 15 Yearsss old Samsung User hahaha..

I laughed at your comment at first, then realized—your level of thinking might be shallower than a TikTok reel. 😏
Not understanding what "15-year Samsung user" means only proves you've probably grown up watching memes more than learning basic logic.

If you seriously think someone needs to recite the exact model they used 15 years ago to prove a point, then bro, debating with you is pointless. No one argues with the trash can—they just take it out. 🗑️

Your comment screams loud ego, zero knowledge.
And honestly, after reading your logic, I feel like phone chargers should come with common sense included—clearly yours didn’t.

Still, thanks—your reply reminded me why ignorance and confidence are such a dangerous combo. 🤭
