A new lawsuit alleges that the Warriors’ mobile app is spying on you, recording your every word and sending it back to Joe Lacob and Peter Guber to do with as they please. Or something like that.
Earlier this week, a class action lawsuit was filed by a New York resident in a federal court in San Francisco regarding alleged privacy violations by the Golden State Warriors’ mobile app. Defendants include the Warriors; the app’s designers, Yinzcam; and Signal360, who developed a system of sound beacon technology that is embedded in the app.
The allegations are that this technology uses your microphone any time the app is running, even if it’s in the background or your screen is off.
