- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience

That's a good example of why I believe we can't tech our way out of Google & Apple control. "Just use Linux bro" can't save us. Everything gets locked down behind a "trusted platform" Android or IOS gate.
It'll be sold to the public as protecting the children, ofc. Or protecting us from terrorists. Or as an important tool in the fight against scammers. Or w/e. There will be reasons. But the end state is techno-fudalism.
They state that they protect our privacy but that's just corpo for saying "we harvest your data and you will like it, but we do not sell it .... for now."
