Boyfriend tracker app Stirs Debate In Brazil

Boyfriend Tracker App a Hit with Brazilian Women

South America’s most populous nation was outraged to hear that the National Security Agency’s surveillance program included spying on millions of phone calls and e-mails from their country. News of the privacy encroachment tarnished the reputation of the United States.

In retrospect, the NSA should have just said that they were tracking the behavior of a philandering boyfriend because that is where surveillance becomes socially acceptable.

The Boyfriend Tracking app is no longer available from Google Store due to legitimate concerns that the application violated individual privacy and could be used to both stalk and extort people.

However, it was quite popular with the women here many of whom wanted digital confirmation of their boyfriend’s trustworthiness. Word to the wise: if you have to rely on an app to trust someone, it’s time to dump them.

The app is called “Rastreador de Namorados” or “Tracker of Boyfriends” and lived up to its reputation of being a digital private eye.

The app would not only track the person’s whereabouts, but it would auto-forward text messages.

The application also featured the ability to dial the tracker upon demand in silent mode so that they could conduct audio surveillance on the boyfriend. It quite literally empowered women in a way that would make Veronica Mars proud.
