@arnoid@mastodon.social @MsHearthWitch@wandering.shop @clifff@shakedown.social Yeah, but as usual the problem is that you have to opt out of that stuff. Big Techs rely in a large part of the population who don't understand or are not concerned about privacy.

@Deeso@mastodon.social @MsHearthWitch@wandering.shop @clifff@shakedown.social Both Apple and Google will show pop-ups while setting up the app, though you likely won’t have a lot of option if you use the website instead of the app. One thing I agree with is companies should be more transparent about what data they take from you and more importantly how they store it. But having a completely free app is impossible so you either pay , or opt out of targeted advertising and see random ads on your feed.

@Deeso@mastodon.social @arnoid@mastodon.social @MsHearthWitch@wandering.shop @clifff@shakedown.social It's not just the opt-out; usually they will gate part of functionality behind unnecessary (but related) permissions.
