The New Citizen Service helps paying users call the police
Citizen, application which tracks local crimes and allows users to film events, has launched a new subscription service. It’s called Protect, and it allows subscribers who pay a $ 20 monthly fee to contact the Citizen Virtual Security Agent team whenever they feel threatened.
Tuesday’s update represents a significant change in the Citizens ’business, as it involves sending free alerts to the phone about crimes and incidents that have happened to nearby users so far. With this paid service, the company is not only taking the step of actively monitoring the security of users who charge a monthly fee, but is also expanding the service that privacy advocates have repeatedly said is excessive.
