I mean if you have Facebook or any google app on your phone: spyware lol. It’s just American so it’s okay!

Also reddit is certainly collecting data on us too

Data harvesting for targeted ads by a private corp.
Data harvested and psyops by an authoritarian nation state.

They aren't the same.

US was not far from going authoritarian just a couple of years ago. People here were expecting civil war and full authorotarian regime to take over. Very happy that did not happen though, so I will continue selling my time for ads now.

The phones themselves are Spyware. It really doesn't matter what app you have on it lol
