First of all, why do people believe a 2015 assi rumor which is not true. Don't believe anything you see on the internet. Second of all, just get the 2015 or older version. It's completely safe. Third of all, a lot of new stations like BBC, ABC, and CBS, will broadcast the news on this. 

It's completely safe. The Chat feature is a bit mature-like, but it doesn't matter.
