#AskFedi:

If an app on Google's Play Store says it may share with third parties your "Name, email address, user ID and other info" for the purposes of "App functionality, Fraud prevention, security, and compliance, Account management" as well as your messages and your approximate location... could the data be used for ad targeting?

Even if the company says that the app in question is only to verify your identity and is separate from the other app it's verifying your identity for? And it says it's complying with European laws?

This is a toot about #WIdentity and #WSocial

Dear Fedi friends,
You know how grateful I am for your help and expertise. I have a burning question and I know some of you may have the correct answer.

Long story short, I had been doing a deep dive into #WSocial. My exposé published on Friday got 830 retweets!

I am working on a follow-up piece and there's something I don't understand.

The homepage of W Social is now redirecting - from wsocial.eu to wsocial.news

If I put wsocial.news in WHOIS databases, I'm finding very little information about when it was registered. And there's some odd stuff, like showing an IP address in Washington DC - but they are very adamant of being hosted in Europe... and they use bunny.net (Slovenia). What gives?

does loops have any kind of a policy against genai contributions or genai usage in general? (here talking about the project itself, so source code, assets, etc.)

if not, would there be any interest in putting in place a policy fully banning these dehumanization machines?
