If you care about privacy, small apps are much more dangerous (on average of course).
Have you seen data practices from smaller data brokers vs big tech?
Big tech uses your data, but they try to protect it (with various levels of success), as it’s more valuable to them. Small data brokers literally sell everything (and not like big tech, where they sell you services that utilize it, but raw data) they can, directly, to anyone.
- arrosenberg 4y agoThat sounds like what Google's PR department would say, right before their lobbying arm turns around and promotes a data privacy law that absolutely obliterates citizen rights. The smaller data broker can't afford the privacy-compromising lobbyist department, so I would still rate them less dangerous for privacy overall. I'm not even sure the big companies do a better job, it's certainly more damaging when it goes badly (e.g. Equifax)
