"It can't be that bad if everyone else is also doing it."

I'm not sure how principled I would be if/when it comes to that. I hope I will be.

Conceptually it’s difficult to explain to most people why this would not benefit them.

Like, I don’t maintain the delusion that I can’t be precisely identified by the apps I use. I just am vehemently opposed to it being tied to my government issued identity, which could be arbitrarily revoked and controlled by people who dont have pure profit as their motive. A lot of people probably find that overly paranoid.
