    Covid and App-based Social Tracking

    (This was already in the Conspiracy Theory Board; just wanted to get more thoughts on this). Ok, hear me out. You know how sites like Reddit, Instagram, and others basically make it impossible for you to desktop browse on a phone and insist that you download their apps into your phone in order...
