    Why do people use Facebook and Instagram? Because they think it’s cool and fun to share with friends, regardless what data FB is gathering on them.

        Yeah, wtf is that equivalency?

        “Why do people smoke”

        “Well some people like to eat at restaurants or watch movies with their friends so”

        It was a “what about” analogy. It compares a app that steals data without the users consent and the other one is the keyboard app. Both seem to be wanted by consumers despite the steeling parts.

          Yeah but a social media platform has completely different qualities. Therefore the reasons for people how and why they use them will be completely different. Also the keyboard app is forced on the phones by the state while the use of social media platforms is optional. Just too many different factors at play here imo.
