[Hundreds of people have been
arrested and murder plots thwarted after criminal gangs were duped into using an app being watched by police around the world. A joint investigation led by the FBI, Europol and Australian Federal Police (AFP) saw US officials take control of an encrypted messaging app called ANOM in 2018. The plan was conceived after the FBI took down a previous secure app favoured by criminals - Phantom Secure. It saw ANOM downloaded on to special mobile phones that were then bought my criminals on the black market, with the encrypted messaging service hidden within the calculator feature. Police forces worldwide were then able to access 27 million messages - exposing the work of organised crime syndicates in more than 100 countries, Europol's deputy director of operations said on Tuesday.] https://news.sky.com/story/hundreds-...olice-12327609 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-57394831 |

i always thought that was considered entrapment. I'm not complaining, its great to get crims off the street, just not sure how it fits with the general public and privacy rules. If for example, the crims shared innocent info on their families etc unrelated to crime, i would have said it was a no no for the agencies to intercept that
