I can understand this sentiment in other contexts, but here? I'm not sure. They're exfiltrating how bad I can play sheet music? I'm not really sure if I see the problem?


The problem is nonconsensual surveillance. It is immaterial what activity you are engaged in that is being surveilled.


It's also just app usage data NOT linked to identity, per their App Store page. Suggesting the developer is lying about this is a serious accusation, so I'd hope the parent commenter has some proof they'd like to share. Otherwise this is just another casualty in the headfirst slide into negativity on HN lately.


It is immaterial whether or not such surveillance is linked to identity or not. Would you be okay with a video of you showering being published without your consent if your face were blurred out?
