Addictive, Manipulative, Exploitive, & Dangerous Apps!

The Threat Landscape: End User Privacy, Safety, & Productivity!

According to former executives & product developers for Google & Facebook*, apps are intentionally designed to be highly addictive and manipulative posing massive safety threats to the end user whether the end users is an adult, teen, child, or business professional.

App developers use highly addictive “Brain Hijacking” technology associated with suggestive and manipulative advertising technologies that are designed to make sure that end users spend maximum time on social media platforms so that the app developer can exploit the end user for financial gain as admitted by numerous tech industry professionals and executives*.

Due to highly addictive apps designed to provide the end user with a "social validation feedback loop", many business users of connected products are becoming unproductive during work hours while having the urge to constantly check social media feeds costing businesses billions of dollars in lost productivity annually.
