Tired: App demands access to all of your contacts upon account creation. Wired: App demands near total access to your other social media apps, contacts, posts, timeline, likes, friends, settings, blah blah.

@briankrebs@infosec.exchange Tired - appropriate name for an app that will make you feel exactly like this when being forced to betray your contacts yet again.

@briankrebs@infosec.exchange App demands all your data as fodder for the AI hopper.

@briankrebs@infosec.exchange I avoid using apps on smartphones as much as possible. I installed Firefox on Android (with ublock origin, etc.) and use it to browse Mastodon and other social networks and websites. Sure, it may not be as smooth as using an app, but the 'friction' also gives me an excuse not to 'doom scroll' so much. 🙂
