“Let’s stop normalizing big tech voyeurism.”

This is an interesting sentiment. More interesting is the question of WHY these apps are collecting this information in the first place.

These apps are as big as some Nostr clients want to be; what can be learned by “Big Tech” behaviours? Most people are obviously not interested in their privacy; will the Nostr client demographic and Instagram client demographics overlap, or not?

Is the point of releasing apps to get as many users as possible for maximum social impact, or to whine and Virtue Signal about what other people are doing?

On the same subject, why do people who whine about surveillance by apps, never mention the surveillance of The State? Why do they give The State a pass by default?

Without doubt, The State is the worst routine privacy abuser of all time, and yet it gets a pass from Virture Signalling anti-Capitalist whiners who want the success of the world but who don’t want to pay for it.
