After carrying out blockades and roadblocks between Catalonia and France for several days , Tsunami Democràtic continues to disclose the existence of its Android application. This time it has done so in a well-known technology directory, Product Hunt, in which at the time this article is published it has received several positive reviews. Of course, the majority of Catalan independentists . The profile that published the app in the directory has the same nickname as the user who originally uploaded the application to GitHub. This repository is where the tool was initially downloaded, until the firm, owned by Microsoft, was forced to withdraw the download at the request of the Telecommunications Intervention Group of the Civil Guard. This nickname, @s3rrallonga, responds to a legendary Catalan bandit who lived in the 17th century and whose real name was Joan Sala i Ferrer.
The identity of the profile that the Tsunami app has uploaded to Product Hunt responds, in this case, to the name of Joana Sala i Ferrer. "In recent months we have created a civic and technological tool to empower citizens to organize more effectively and achieve change faster. This week we launched and tested the first version of our Android app. It has helped tens of thousands of Catalans to protest by Middle East Phone Number List blocking the border highways of the Pyrenees with concerts, dinners and camping trips," defended the app's developer group. In responses to questions from Product Hunt users, the developers of the Democràtic Tsunami app have defended that "civic-technological products like this" will have more presence in global situations "like those we have seen in Chile, Hong Kong, Bolivia, Nicaragua, France or Spain.
About the source code and the permissions that the app asks of users The developers also maintain that more and more tools will be seen that are "difficult to censor" at a time when social networks "have already been intervened and used against citizens." One of the most sensitive details of the app is that it could violate European data protection regulations, as Business Insider already revealed . So, Tsunami Democràtic did not respond to this media's questions. Now, the developers emphasize that their goal is "to make the app open source as soon as possible." "We could have done it sooner, but there are Spanish authorities who have threatened to imprison the project developers." Regarding the permissions they ask users to use their terminals—access to the camera, microphone, or geolocation—the team behind the Tsunami app defends that they do not collect any data. "The point of the app is for it to be decentralized and anonymous.
