    This is present in all apps in the playstore for serving ads. If you are running away from it you have to run from the entire internet. You want to live a life like the people in privacy sub reddit with that tin foil hat. For the developer to serve ads this is necessary.

        Exactly people really dont care about privacy nowadays , even calling us thin foil thats. Just look at the republican states asking Facebook to share messages about abortion with a mom and her daughter.

          I think there’s some nuance there too. I’m not keen on the idea of my facebook messages, or google chats, or private emails, things like that going into other peoples hands (regardless of how much I can do to stop it), but purely ad-based stuff doesn’t bother me. I’m gonna be seeing ads for something, and whether or not they’re things google or amazon think I might want doesn’t really change the equation for me.

          However, I do hold it to be true people should be in control of that if they want to. I feel like the choice is important.

                  You mistake (best case scenario) a desire for privacy with perfect anonymity. It is perfectly sane to wish to engage in public discourse without being milked by ad companies. The fact that most platforms make this stupidly difficult is no reason to dismiss everything we say as nonsense. Do get a grip, please.

              Wtf are you talking about? No one its exempt from authorities search , if a government wants you they will find you. We are against companies!! Not governments. You just want to be against open source free software if you want to pay for an app go ahead but stop minimizing people that wants privacy.

                  Anti capitalism? I dont want companies tracking me. I dont care about capitalism or not. I hate when companies track me , and when they go against innovation , freedom for the consumer to choose, and create monopolies. Monopolies are not part of capitalism , that kills competition and the free market.

          I am self hosting my instance , how ignorant you can be. And even if I have my account on a server do you think a regular person would care or have the capacity to create a profile on me. I do believe a trillion company can track me and its not 100% but the less they have the better. Also why does it matter to you? Fuck off. Laws? No law can apply to this coporporations.

      I dont install aps from the play store , and what’s wrong with wanting to not see ads or my data with Google? The less data they can have from me , the less the ads are relevant, the less likely to work in me.
