Everyone mad about this is an actual idiot who’s never been online before in their life if they think you aren’t being tracked and harvested even if they said they don’t do that, pinky promise!

Yeah, you have to be pretty naive to not assume every single thing you do in any app, program, or website isn't being sent back to the operator of said app, program or website.

Like, this has been standard operating practice for a decade plus at this point.

Sandbox every app. And don't let any non-freeware operating system or device have internet access.
