Honestly by now, I just assume that is standard practice for any site, saidit included. If they're not collecting it directly, rest assured that the agencies watching them are.

I just don't care anymore because I post on the net less and less, and write in my journal more and more. I just accept that anything done online is not at all anonymous or private, and hasn't been for at least a decade. Tor can be broken, my VPN service is likely a direct funnel to an AI that crunches the data for a private government contractor, and my every keystroke is examined for wrong thought.

It's like BattleStar Galactica: if it's networked, it's compromised.

Please, dont link that cancerous site (twitter). At least link an archive of the twit. I'm simply not clicking it otherwise.

nitter.net mirror. The Firefox addon Invidition will automatically convert twitter, youtube and several other services to privacy friendly frontends. Untrackme for Android does the same thing.

Thanks, those extensions are legit amazing.
I would still advocate not linking twitter as this gives legitimacy to their echochamber ecosystem.

So insane that people need to go to the effort to literally code extensions into Browsers to stop something as simple as a user going... “no stop invading my privacy”.

Yeah yeah free service yeah yeah you’re the cost to use it, they don’t need more money off tracking us based on everything we do for advertisers. Plus a lot of these cunts offer premium services and I’m sure they still pull the same shady shit on them.

I agree that Twitter is hell, but sometimes I want to crosspost something quickly and don't have the time to archive it, sorry.

Check out reddit lite, you can also self host it.

I am guessing he did that because he wanted to warn as many people as possible and thought he could get the widest reach there.

It get robo-callbacks everytime I visit Reddit I guess to verify my location. The internet has blossomed into kiked-up creepiness. I've quit visiting that dump even to lurk, it isn't worth it, and the average age of posters there is 11 years old. So many forums have become troll-farms and gang-stalking venues for the Yiddum hive-mind.

does this apply for the app only?

Every site can do this, and most do. There is a solution, however: the Tor Browser.

Thanks but no thanks. I do not trust Tor.
