To: a fool in paradise

Yep. I don’t have a ‘smart’ phone and I’m locked down tighter than Fort Knox on my home pc.

My sister drives me NUTS with her ‘checking in’ here, there and everywhere auto posts!

As I reported on June 23, Apple has fixed a serious problem in iOS 14, due in the fall, where apps can secretly access the clipboard on users’ devices. Once the new OS is released, users will be warned whenever an app reads the last thing copied to the clipboard. As I warned earlier this year, this is more than a theoretical risk for users, with countless apps already caught abusing their privacy in this way.

From a tweet referenced in the article (with video):
“Okay so TikTok is grabbing the contents of my clipboard every 1-3 keystrokes. iOS 14 is snitching on it with the new paste notification”
