      Why? Useful for safety and security of the society?

      Edit: Why downvotes? I’m trying to put myself in their shoes, it’s not how I view it lol

        Why do people use Facebook and Instagram? Because they think it’s cool and fun to share with friends, regardless what data FB is gathering on them.

            Yeah, wtf is that equivalency?

            “Why do people smoke”

            “Well some people like to eat at restaurants or watch movies with their friends so”

            It was a “what about” analogy. It compares a app that steals data without the users consent and the other one is the keyboard app. Both seem to be wanted by consumers despite the steeling parts.

        Some weird downvotes, and I want to know too. Why does a keyboard app mean anything to anyone? The keyboards included on iOS and latest Android versions are great.
