Hennell • Dev @hennell.dev · 07/07/2026Data wise - they say they don't collect any Pii, and their biz model is about using data on bots/threats for their security walls, rather than target advertising like most big tech. It is concerning they are so prominent, but there just isn't much alternative, and at this point you need something. 010 0

Hennell • Dev @hennell.dev · 01/06/2026I made my phone wait 10+ seconds in between shorts/reels etc so I don't get sucked in when someone sends me one.
