okay, put it this way: if people had told you, upfront, that in order to use this chat thing you'd never touched before, you had to send them a copy of your passport and let them fucking scan your face and use their spyware to try to guess your age

you fucking wouldn't have. No you wouldn't. You've just chosen to refuse to look at what they've fucking done to you

@sinvega I think it's more about switching costs than boiling frogs. There needs to be a consumer education approach to switching costs, that emphasizes that an effective strategy against switching costs and similar traps is 99% prevention. The questions that must be asked early on are questions of what they can do, not what they may do. What their "privacy policy" currently says is irrelevant, as are current laws. The question is what technical capabilities exist for abusing your trust and invading your privacy.
