Consider the Plight of the VC-Backed Privacy Burglars

The question to ask is, “Is this what users want and expect?” Sometimes it really is that simple. I’m not sure it’s ever worth asking “Is this what growth-hacking VC-backed social-media app makers want?”

Strange that you spent not an inconsiderable time arguing that Meta has the right to user data because they have lucrative ads business, and the EU has bo right regulating that.

And yet now it's "privacy burglars" and "what users want and expect"

Yes, and it sucks, and shouldn't require that many permissions and contracts

*edit: corrected "sticks" to "sucks". As in: "iOS swipe to type sucks"*
