Everything I post here is public. All of my information is public, whether there’s some flag to say that the info is private or not. It’s still public to the admins that run the server, and I don’t trust them any more than I trust some rando Internet person scraping data.
Everybody seems to forget this, and pretend that large corpos are somehow obligated to protect your privacy.
But they’re collecting more than just what you post. Have you seen the permissions they requested. Do you really want them to be able to track your location at all times? Or to access your phone’s health information so they can sell that to advertisers and others?
Then don’t post your identity online.
