users ARE the product... you still don't get it?

Please explain that in more detail.

LOL are you 5 years old to need more details to explain what happen when YOU are the product?

Yup if it’s free, you and your personal information are the cost you are paying. What price tag do you put on that?

What personal information are we talking about in the case of Wallet of Satoshi. "Personal information" is a nice headline for now, but what exactly are we talking about?

  1. That app you CANNOT install it without google services. That means they (could) know everything about you: name, IMEI, location, where you go etc
  2. The fact that is kind of anonymous (no full KYC), it doesn't mean they do not know who you are...

Nothing is free in this world.

But this was not the question of the post.... We all know that the app collects data etc.

It is very well. You asked "what is your opinion about WoS".
So we answered.
I don't know what do you want more.

If you only read the headline, you might think that. The text of the post itself clearly states: "Is this only possible with large amounts of money from outside? --- So I already implement the assumption that data is collected and sold. And your very useful answer to that, in a nutshell, is "They collect your data you 5 year old". So again, thank you for your valuable participation.

That app you CANNOT install it without google services. That means they (could) know everything about you: name, IMEI, location, where you go etc

well said, and I didn't know about this.

Ok I get the point, we probably have completely different views on which definition of personal data is relevant at all

reply

If you want to use a custodial account, at least use one that is not depending on such services like google...

which definition of personal data is relevant

it doesn't matter. Is enough that they are USING you.

Every LN transaction contains info (description) of where you spent the sats.

Even though login is optional for WOS,
Most users will still prefer to login with their email to have a backup, if they lose their phone.

And there are many number of data they can collect, which might include IP address, Device ID

Thanks for the answer. The collect and sell data, I already implement in the question. However, I'm starting to realize that I should have written in more detail. Is the answer really: the whole thing is a pure data collecting and selling machine? Is there no information on actual numbers?
