Phone Apps are bad.

They use their escalated privileges to spy on you and sell their data https://twitter.com/Chronotope/status/940599787686105088

They are part of our nightmarish surveillance economy https://twitter.com/Chronotope/status/1134496477840064512
They directly steal money https://twitter.com/Chronotope/status/1099338817436303360
They operate in an environment with a total lack of clarity that makes them worrisome to use and abhorrent to privacy conscious users. https://twitter.com/Chronotope/status/1169971729097220096
And prompts for them are yet another annoying popup we all have to deal with. https://twitter.com/dmarti/status/1224891477739757569
We're having a big critical discussion about the nature of apps, their economy and the regulations we might want to apply to them... so let's push it all the way friends, let's push to get rid of them forever. https://twitter.com/Chronotope/status/1224889298664771584
