Illinois State Government Targets Children With iPhone and Android Malware to “Report” on Friends, Family, and Neighbors

The State government of Illinois has recently launched State-sanctioned malware, available in the Google Play and Apple App Store called “Safe2Help Illinois”.

I first noticed the malware when ads started appearing on the radio and TV for it.

The app encourages children to download it to their phones without telling their parents and use it to “report” people to the State government, including the Department of “Human Services”, which administers the State mental hygiene laws, and of course, the police.

The app conveniently provides children with the ability to send pictures and video files with their report, but the Google Play description says the app can also just scan the phone and see who your contacts are, read your text messages, and upload the files on your phone all by itself without telling you.

According to Google Play (Apple doesn’t give statistics), the app has only been downloaded 100 times in the entire State.

Unfortunately, there’s no way to tell how many children are using this app to inform on each other and the family and neighbors (like something out of the East German Stasi), but in addition to the malware, the state allows reports over their Web site and through text messaging.

The State agency maintaining the malware is the Illinois Emergency Management Agency, which is basically the State version of FEMA, and they probably use federal grant money.

Last year, the Biden Regime’s “Disinformation Board” got “paused” due to public and Congressional backlash, but planned to lean on Big Tech to silence people at the government’s request, otherwise there would be consequences of course.

But this is another way the government can keep eyes on people.

It has “deputized” brainwashed children and turned them into informants (on themselves even, due to the wide-ranging permissions the app has when it runs on the phone).

There’s obviously nothing benign about this app, but the fact that there’s only 100 people in the state with Android phones dumb enough to install it going into its third year, despite what I’m sure is millions of my tax dollars at work “marketing” it, is a good sign that even children usually aren’t stupid enough to believe the government.
