Given the amount of radical leftists using Lemmy, what’s the risk that certain intelligence agencies create nice apps for Lemmy and put them on the app store to gather data on leftists?
It would be fairly cheap to do so.
I was looking for apps earlier today and noticed there’s a bunch of new android apps for Lemmy and this thought occurred to me.
Just by using a proprietary version of Android with the Google Play services and a bunch of proprietary apps (even if the Lemmy client is open-source), you’re already an easy target for data collection. Also, unless you’re using some trustworthy proxy, any three-letter agency can easily find out that you’ve been visiting Lemmygrad
