    I am a solo developer on some of these platforms and have to do an annual privacy evaluation which I find painful as the company taking up my valuable time to answer all their BS questions, are the ones breaking privacy. Insane. Further, I had to pay $100 annually to the UK privacy commission as it is required for all UK companies which is also deeply ironic as the same government is requiring you to submit ID for some websites which has made the privacy leaks even more damaging.

    As a solo developer I am feeling the brunt of the privacy charades while the big companies just continue to violate privacy unchecked. I have zero desire or intentions to break anyone’s privacy an ask for no information from anyone outside of pulling down their profile to sign in as is required to determine app permission. That is it. No phone numbers, no real names, no biometrics, no photos of ID or anything outside of those username on that platform but I am burdened as if I was collecting all of this and as if I was the one breaking privacy. This world is mental.
