I was looking forward to trying Sync today now that it’s live, but my enthusiasm was immediately dampened after seeing the “Data Safety” section on the Google Play store.

Liftoff has been great, and want to say thanks for making an awesome app. This will continue to be my daily driver.


Edit: for clarity, because the post got way bigger than I expected.

Sync looks like a fantastic app, and the dev/s should charge whatever they feel is fair for their efforts, even if that’s through the usual ads + ad tracking.

My intent was just to post here in /c/Liftoff to thank the Liftoff devs for managing to somehow offer an awesome app without any of that.

      Most of the world is by definition ignorant of data privacy.

      Absolutely.

      It doesn’t take a genius to understand it, just someone who is not ignorant.

      But, by all means, continue to give your data to whoever you want to.

          If you aren’t ignorant, than you are stupid.

          You know the stove is hot and are showing your palm into it. That isn’t ignorance.

          Most mankind is ignorant to data privacy, and that says nothing to their intellect.

              See, you are trying to debate whether the stove top is hot or not.

              I’m not going to debate that because its quite apparent what these companies, and by extensions governments, do with this data.

              You are allowed to touch a hot stove. You are not allowed to debate whether or not it’s hot.

              Like I said, touch that stove, knowing it’s hot if you want, I can’t stop you.
