I frankly am surprised why anyone would think otherwise? The “In-app” in the name should kind of give it away that it is, after all, in the app. Anything you do will be available for the app to track.
- lrvick 4y agoConsider the overwhelming majority of users are technically illiterate. Everything is just magic scrolling machines people learned to trust from watching people they trust use them.
- darth_avocado 4y agoI would sympathize with all of the illiterate users. But the person who reported this and the people on HN discussing the article would be considered a little more technologically literate I would assume.
- lrvick 4y agoIt is our obligation as those that build technology to call out risks to the technically illiterate masses and be advocates for them.
