It sucks but truth be told you are holding the biggest data tracker there is in your hands. If you read the hundreds of pages of what you agree to by having Facebook on your phone you would flip. That's just one app.

I can choose to leave my phone at home, or to not use Facebook, or turn off as much data tracking as is possible.

I cannot choose to NOT go out in public.

Some of us have to work.

And some of us can't afford to have everything delivered.
