Lol I'm sure you have an app on your phone that does worse
Hell, Android itself probably does worse lmao
We do what we can. Privacy is not go full on paranoid or go home. I might have worse data collecting pos apps that I definitely need on my device but I at least use FOSS softwares from Fdroid whenever I can. It helps.
And?
And? It's silly to bail on an app you've been waiting for months for because "data collection" lmao (Data collection that was probably in the original boost anyways lolol)
Why is that silly? It's an individual choice, but for many of us that's a huge turn off when we are striving for less of that in the world and there are alternatives.
rofl one can still try to minimise data collection as a whole. Because one party spies on me, I don't have to let everyone do it. Lmao. You're just bringing whataboutism to a legitimate concern. Lel
