This is one of the most slippery slopes I think we have ever ventured down in the history of the Internet here in North America.

Not impressed whatsoever with this.

This is not what the internet is all about.




The internet has been dead for like 20 years dude. It's been over.


So let's just roll over and give up then? Is that what you're implying?

If nobody takes a stand against situations like this, it's only going to get worse.

Enact laws that require app makes not to be allowed to harvest so much data and/or hold onto it for more than 24 hours perhaps.

But don't just kick some massively successful company off of your country's internet because you're afraid.


The only way me as a regular person is able to 'take a stand' is to take my income and assets and move somewhere that I believe is more conductive to the way I want to live.

Maybe another open source library will fix it.
