      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

        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.

        Comes with a built in translator and spell checker, and since access to Google translate is blocked, that’s often the only alternative.

            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.

              Yeah but a social media platform has completely different qualities. Therefore the reasons for people how and why they use them will be completely different. Also the keyboard app is forced on the phones by the state while the use of social media platforms is optional. Just too many different factors at play here imo.
