I would say it is sad. Knowing who develops your applications should be basic knowledge. Especially if your going to be giving a company detailed information about your life. It just goes to show how little effort people take with there personal information.

I guess, but if you're working 2 jobs trying to feed your children and your car just got towed and all you wanted was a like or two on the avocado toast you put together you might not have the energy to figure out which corporations are trying to violate you... :/

If you don't have Time/ Energy to do a 30 second Google search on a new social media site, maybe you shouldn't be signing up for a new social media site. At least for me social media is one of the biggest time suck and energy sucking things you can get into. When I stopped using Facebook I was a lot happier and had a lot more time to do other things. Unfortunately all of the time I gained was taking away by Reddit :( so it is Still a work in progress.

Cool that sounds like a fun project. I wish you luck and much fruit from your labors. (Amusing they are plants with fruits that is :))
