Journalists need to realize that likely every app is doing this. Look at the companies providing this data (FullStory, MouseFlow, AppSee etc etc), they are industry agnostic. It's as easy as installing a library or adding a few lines of code and voila, you have this same data.
- Bartweiss 8y agoThis would be a huge improvement in the quality of these stories. There's a meaningful difference between something like Red Shell, where a few games gathered data that most others don't collect, and the stream of "apps log events!" stories which find some examples and present them as company-specific outrages instead of a nasty practice across the industry. Without understanding that, it's hard to have a useful discussion about tracking.
