> the solution to this is very obvious, but I know some folks won't cease using the product
"Everyone should simultaneously quit doing the harmful thing" is a "solution" to our present surveillance advertising problem in the way that advice to save money is a solution to poverty or "have you tried farming?" is a solution to world hunger.
I.e. not a solution for humans, but a description of a beeline to the desired state as performed by a hive mind.
Really? Telling people to quit using a stupid app isn't "A solution for humans"? Seems pretty straight forward to me.
