My university just released an "official" app to "chat with your friends, look up your marks, your timetables, see your enrolment details..."

Guess who developed it? The fucking Santander bank.

Guess what the Terms & Conditions say? That your data can be sold to third parties and that you will receive advertisements from third parties.

The app even has a "News" category that is, again, controlled by the bank.

FUCK, I'M ANGRY.

@csaurus @bob The use case seems clear, indeed.
