Holy. This is so dire. I like how "smart" is always a euphemism for "shitty" when it's the prefix of a technology product.

Jury's still out on the Smartphone with a good number of pros/cons.

I'd bet that many who are enraged by this story, have already accepted numerous such agreements in the software/sites they use.

The smartphone is fine. It’s the apps that suck, and most of all it’s advertising.

The smartphone OS is not fine. It is build to take away you computing freedom. It's what enables and encourages these shitty apps while preventing better options. It is designed around advertising.
