    This is a question about the use of the jw library app on your cellphone.

    The app is mainly used by JW and maybe interested people.

    In this world of big data, and less privacy, any Government can track users of this app.

    It's no problem when there is nothing at stake.

    But, many Governments, even the more secular like France and Germany, have made restrictions for JW's.

    What if you are a Government official and JW? Do you want to be tracked for being one?

    Maybe I see things not right. But for Russia, it's easy to track jw library users on their cell phone.

    What do you think about it?

    I'd suggest to check your local laws.

    I'd rather have the ruskies tracking me than the jw's.

    If they track my use of the JW library APP; they also track my postings on EX-JW-websites.

    Therefore: NO problem for me as german user.

    I wouldn't be terribly concerned about it unless it becomes a crime to even read "extremist literature," as far as I know the current crime is "producing and distributing it," and if for some reason you did draw negative attention from it, you can explain that you are a former JW who now opposes the religion. Of course, if your current beliefs aren't in line with the government either then it could still be problematic.

    I deleted the app from my devices because it was full of what is, in my opinion, useless drivel.
