The utopian ideals of freedom, openness, and free are rife with many of the Internet's products, which are taken by users, either voluntarily or passively, to the ditch. Seemingly free internet territory, far from the imagination of the beautiful, users are hard to bind, this group of free countries Rogue, never give up their own interests in the user.

Free, open, free and other utopian ideals flooded with the Internet's many products, users or voluntarily or passively by these utopian ideals to the ditch, or the Internet products initially have a crooked mind, open source really only open source? The seemingly free internet realm is far from being imagined, such as cookies, cyber crime, viruses, etc., which we can know but can not prevent the side, there are more dark, the user is rigidly bundled, this group of free countries Rogue, never give up their own interests in the user.

Below I will come to common mobile Internet environment under several rogue means, take off their fig leaf.

Way one: Download Bundle Application Center

A well-known social software to promote its own Application Center, each time the user is forced to download in its Application Center, instead of downloading it in its own app background, there is a hard transition, bundled from social tools to the Application Center, and you want to update and experience new features, you have to use someone else's Application Center, Often users have to download the Application Center, and then choose to update, the end of the Application Center will be deleted together, to know that the Application Center is a slag, used up very rotten, and the mainstream Application Center there is a big gap.

There is an input method product, the screen prompts the user to update the input method, the user clicks on the update, the system will download the Application Center of the input method by default, users have been bundled to download its Application Center.

Android's third-party Application Center market competition is very fierce, Baidu mobile phone assistant, 360 mobile phone assistant, application Bao, pea pod, Jinshan mobile phone assistant, Android, and now almost every Android phone manufacturers have their own Application Center, users can download the app channel is very much. Many manufacturers put the Application Center as a portal, so desperately push their own Application Center, even at their own "feather", with a rogue bundle of means to allow users to download and use. I think this is similar to the nature of the browser plug-ins on the early PC side, and users are always intimidated by the product.

Mode two: Cottage app default download software

In the case of intellectual property is difficult to be defined and protected, plagiarism and duplication appear to be so easy, but also by the name of the United States micro-innovation. Android's open environment gives a lot of room to the cottage app, which is almost exactly the same as the official app, even more beautiful than the official.

Cottage app to make money, the usual practice is to help users download the installation software, users use the Cottage app, after each use to a certain scene, the system will automatically download the app, and prompts the user to install, a little attention will be installed, and installed software are mostly bat and other internet giants products, Is it a little funny? There's a big problem with this is that you can't continue using the app without installing it.

Pseudo-Innovation, plagiarism, replication is so convenient, and the Third-party Application Center did not vigorously curb this situation, and even a Third-party Application Center that they do not have the obligation to audit these applications, they do not have the manpower to audit these applications. Is that so indulgent?

Mode three: PR tools

More and more news reading products appear, almost one person, some have two or three, news reading products appear great help users can quickly get news information, but for product companies, often not so simple.

Since it is a news reading product, it is the relevant news information to the user, can transmit the positive information also can transmit the negative information. The way the Internet company is used is that when a competitor has a situation, big push the other side of the negative, more than a few eye-catching position push, and even a separate information push, when their products need to be released, each position has become the object of their own propaganda, such as the award-winning, such as product launches and so on.

This is when news-reading products become a PR tool for product companies, and they provide PR tools for product companies. To know the download amount to tens of millions of or even hundreds of billions of news to do PR, a year less said also can save a lot of PR fee? Poor user, without knowing it, was bundled by this rogue means.

Mode four: hardware is advertising

In the case of mobile phone does not root, the system default software in the smartphone can not be unloaded, a considerable number of users will not use the root tool, then means that users have to use the system software.

Just forcing users to use it is far from enough, the most disgusting is, when the user does not use the software, the mobile phone will automatically recommend software to users related information, such as a certain discount, a certain new product listing, advertising information constantly, want to uninstall but no door, but also root, a lot of software even root can not unload, Once use it, it is destined to be QJ for a lifetime.

A well-known mobile phone manufacturers for this way is customary, has been used, sadly, they are being hailed as the "myth" of the existence of the so-called "fans", but is someone else fooled little white, finally know why others so cheap it?

Mode five: Fake free

We benefit from the Internet's many free to have today's happy life, early Internet products in the free strategy, do a good job, but now the manufacturers smart, refined, even if the charge, they will also play the banner of free, whether publicity, download, etc., are free "banner."

The user downloads the application, originally thought is free, but once wants to use some kind of service, must charge, the question is does not pay, any function all cannot use, the user wants to use, must have the compulsory payment.

Fake free phenomenon is really a lot of, of course, many are dominant, many are recessive. For example, mobile games, now many children will play mobile phone games, snapped dead, the system immediately prompt SMS payment can be resurrected and so on, bear children can toss hundreds of a morning. Even adult users, it is easy to be fooled by the system, is clearly a free game, how suddenly the charge.

Mode VI: Window

Recently, the Network Letter Office Joint Ministry of Department and other departments launched the "Regulation of the network window" of the special action, for the Network Bomb window chaos for governance. However, compared to the PC side, the mobile end of the window is more annoying, because the phone screen is smaller, and many window is not able to cancel.

There are two common, one is in the Cottage app, the system will often have a variety of window, usually prompts the user to download an app. The other is the app's system information push, a lot of app system Information push off button set very covert, like authentic, have to look for half a day, this slightly better, compared to Rogue is, clearly set the shutdown system message push, the system will still push a variety of messages, can not find a closed method. For the network window phenomenon of governance, mobile Internet should not let go.

Some people say that year's small white user grew up, to know villains outsmart truth, the user grew up, manufacturers are not fools. After all, manufacturers are to gain their own interests, is the need to make money, so the user is still small white, but there are some feelings of small white, fans of the halo under the small white. Mobile Internet development is too fast, there are good side often have a bad side, rogue nature, is not completely from the Internet, mobile internet eradication.
