A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Yes, this is the reason Meta keeps fighting Apple and Google when the app stores add marginal transparency.
I wonder how many people will even consider the possibility that they need to check those permissions carefully lest the social media app collect health data?
I think the culture/training of not even reading terms and conditions leads to people not checking what they give away to apps and software.
I agree that it is almost impossible these days to trust big corporations. Google and Meta are at the top my no trust list.
