Not if all insurance providers are playing this game. Like algorithmic rent fixing currently happening.

> And even if it does leak, how are my grocery shopping habits being published really going to negatively impact me?

Fitness and calorie tracker, ebook reader, notes app (Android doesn't have a good notes app built into the OS), music player app for music I have locally on my phone, and an app that configures my bluetooth headphones.

I can't tell if you are deliberately being obtuse but they are talking about apps overall and not Meta's apps. Many apps use Facebooks SDK because of the Facebook Pixel for tracking and advertisement. Web apps don't prevent that and again, cannot be easily run offline so I'll stick with my native apps.

You aren't wrong but calling it being "Student #642 in a government childcare facility" the wrong way of looking at it. Children grow up best when they are allowed to play with other children. Modern society robs kids of that and helicopter parents are bad for society.

I don't think ban is the right word for this? The federal government will no longer be funding renewables on farmland which is stupid but not a ban.
