A Brazilian court [ ordered Apple, Google and Microsoft to delete the Secret app ]( http://www.sfgate.com/business/article/Brazil-wants-no-Secret-on-app-stores-5701537.php ) (and a similar one) from their app stores. Nobody should use that app; it is proprietary software, so [ the users don't control it ]( http://gnu.org/philosophy/free-software-even-more-important.html ) and it may well be malware (as many [ proprietary programs ]( http://gnu.org/philosophy/proprietary/ ) are). The Apple and Microsoft operating systems are proprietary and full of malware, too, as is Google Play which is part of [ Android ]( http://gnu.org/philosophy/android-and-users-freedom.html ) . Notwithstanding that, this court decision is oppression, pure and simple. But what makes the decision so damaging is that Apple and Microsoft have [ built censorship of apps into their operating systems ]( http://gnu.org/philosophy/proprietary/proprietary-jails.html ) . Now Brazil is using their censorship systems for its own purposes.
