I alwayse check this before downloading apps because i dont want apps to spy on me. And what i noticed in practise is that usualy payd apps offten dont collect any data and even if they do its less data than free apps.

So obviusly they collect that data to sell it and to make money that way. And if you think only big companies for advertising buy that data you are wrong.

Gowermants, secret organizacions and milioners who want to control your life is bying that data the most.

    Or maybe we shouldn’t be allowing data collection and surveillance in the first place.

          Nobody said anything about selling data. You said data collection. And the fediverse is literally entirely public, so beehaw doesn’t have to do anything for your activity here to be tracked across numerous locations.
