“Who Follows/Unfollows me”; Doodo.fun How to have your political position stolen and replaced, then have all your friends informed, and when they check your profile it suddenly reflects your ‘new’ allegiance.
We saw what Cambridge Analytica et al did with our data on facebook, which makes it very alarming to see twitter users are giving away complete control of their accounts to certain apps.
“Who Follows/Unfollows me” is one of these apps. Praying on our instinctive curiosity to see when we gain or lose followers, (Despite the stats being avialiable on your account by clicking your name and scrolling down) but as my late old mum was fond of saying “there’s no such thing as a free lunch”. Signing up for the app is easy, it asks you to sign in via Twitter, however I rather suspect folk are missing/ignoring the following info that pops up stating
This application will be able to:
Read Tweets from your timeline.
See who you follow and follow new people.
Update your profile.
Post Tweets for you.
Access your direct messages.
To be clear, whoever’s behind the app has FULL CONTROL of your twitter account FULL CONTROL, it could quite easily send a tweet along the lines of
“I used to support the SNP, but now I support the Tories” or which-ever party/cause the app owner supports.
Those cute/extraordinary/crazy Videos from dodo.fun ? Click on those and you’ll be giving the app exactly the same permissions as you’d have done with the “Who Follows/Unfollows me” app.
Getting Rid?
Feedback I’ve had from folk who have the app, report it’s difficult to remove via a tablet or phone.
On a PC it’s very straight forward
Click your profile picture
Select ‘Settings and Privacy’
Select ‘Apps’ on the left of the screen. (You may need to scroll down to see it.)
Click on ‘Apps’
Once you’ve found the app, simply ‘Revoke Access’
That’s you clear of it then, feel free to retweet to your followers
