Cool app. Let's you scan UPCs and barcodes to find out what company makes it and the shady shit that they might be doing behind the scenes. Makes voting with your wallet easier and more accessible.
voting with your wallet
:side-eye-1: :side-eye-2:
I get what you mean though
idk but this is the perfect app to spy on your purchases without access to your bank account
I guess. The point of the app is to steer you away from buying shit that isn't ethically sourced or what the fuck ever, so just because you scan something doesn't mean you're gonna buy it. I see what you're getting at tho
I might sound paranoid but, that you thought about buying something is all that these algorithms need to predict your behavior. when you shop online they can track how long you look at certain items, or what part of the webpage you spent time on, even if you don't end up purchasing
Nah that isn't paranoia, that's just how the world works now, didn't you hear? Facebook knows everything about everyone, even the people without facebook.
