Years ago when I had a jailbroken iPhone and a firewall app, I had downloaded and tried the Accuweather app. That fucking app contacted TWENTY-SIX third-party servers to upload data. Like a few moments into setting it up and running it, the harvesting hath begun. I was like - fuck that, and deleted the app. I haven’t even considered using it ever since. This was like mid-2000s.
