"Uh, do I really need to install this app to order food?"
"Yes. And also we'll need access to your contacts, location 24/7, your photos, microphone, and possibly your soul."
"…I just wanted a pizza."
"Cool. In exchange, here’s 6 push notifications a day, and targeted ads for gym memberships (because you're eating too much pizza)."

App tracking: Why it's bad and how to stop it. | Tuta
Shops are following Google's and Facebook's example with their own tracking apps so we must say: "No, I'm not installing your app to order food!"Tuta

in reply to Tuta • • •This is hilarious to me because I'll stop using a web site if its TOS are too weird or if its cookies are pushed too hard. I don't tolerate shitty practices because I simply don't have to. It's a big web, you're probably not unique.
Businesses, if your shit isn't frictionless, I'm not going to buy a damn thing from you.
Install an app to pay you? Fuck off, lol.

in reply to Tuta • • •to tell iOS not to track does not mean anything. There is a study which says that 80% of the software developers ignore this, because it is a recommendation and not enforced.
And this setting is meant for external app but has no meaning to apple app. The same is true in google.

"Why should I care if they collected all my data anyway?"
It's SICKENING and concerning how we normalise these things...

The easy solution is to just not buy a cell phone.
Saves money and gives you time to look around and enjoy the local flora and fauna.

in reply to Tuta • • •If they ask me to download an app or create an account, I don't bother with them.
In addition to avoiding their creepy stalker tracking, profiling and surveillance capitalism, the last thing I need is for them to inevitably get breached because they did a common cybersecurity no-no, and then have my personal details leaked on dark web forums.
Whatever happened to "don't give out your personal details to strangers online"? Now every app demands you dox yourself for basic services.
