    Facebook, Whatsapp, X and Instagram are the top apps - do you think people really care about privacy policy? Not confusing an email client with social media apps but the general mass doesn’t care about privacy policy yet.

      Here on Lemmy there’s slightly more privacy-sensitive demographic than your average social media. It was true even back on Reddit and it seems even more true here.

      Good for the people who use them. I don’t.

      I’ll still speak out against any app with such a heinous privacy policy.

      If people didn’t care, privacy wouldn’t be a marketing tool and things like “App Tracking Transparency” that Apple added to iOS a while ago wouldn’t have worked so well.

      Also, do you close your door when you go on the toilet, or go around telling everyone your credit card details?

      Things like these don’t come from ignorance of privacy, but rather services are explicitly designed to lock you in and have unbearably long privacy policies and ToS agreements.
