Pubky.app requires zero personal data of any kind, you are a liar.

All apps require terms of service, including Nostr apps. In fact, relays should be providing them too. (some Terms protect users, all terms are to clarify the relationship between the provider and user)

The Pubky Ring app is open source and available for sideloading if you dont trust Google/Apple. You also can use pubky.app without Ring at all.

The site asks for "Your name" and "tell me about yourself". That is personal data! Users may not realise they are doxing themselves. As app developers we must be responsible for the safety of our users, who may not realise the legal jeopardy of posting opinions under a real identity.

oh no

social media app asks for name/bio

I wonder who else is doing this (everyone, including Nostr)

I personally find Pubky flawed but this is bullshit

If you are confused about the app you are using, try reading the ToS.

Otherwise, I think everyone knows what a public profile is.
