So like... most b2c apps out there? I checked app privacy report for a few such apps I have installed and also got a very high proportion of third party domains. Maybe not as high as 77% but definitely above 50% (ie. more domains are third party than first party). The most surprising part here is them refusing to put correct info in the "data collected" section of the app store listing.

edit: they seemed to have updated the store listing, so the "data collected" section is correct.

I'm happy to be against both the white houses' 3rd party telemetry as well as other apps. I can multitask.

A government app being built like b2c is exactly the problem

Right, the White House is collecting data and sending it to Huawei, and overall collection rate is worse than any other app you’ve seen by a wide margin.

That makes me net more surprised after reading your comment.

You're not surprised the white house is worse than any other app you've seen by 20%?
