edit: for those wondering, the setting can be found under Settings -> Privacy -> GDPR for the EU version only I think

    I guess it’s more of a Google’s fault, but still, having to spend 10 minutes to Reject all is insane.

    I’ve uninstalled it, sticking with Connect and will also give Thunder a try. Loved Sync for Reddit and paid for it gladly, but as it is, I’m out.

        Hm, I’m curious how the law interacts with apps in alpha and beta. Like if an app is brand new and still under development, does it have to follow those laws immediately or is there some leeway because of the app being new

          From my knowledge of the EU as citizen I would say probably not, if they do something exceptions are only made for companies who spend a lot of money lobbying or if public outrage is big enough

          It doesn’t matter, app in development can hurt privacy just as well and must follow the same rules.

          Why would it be legal to ignore the law because your product is in alpha or beta? Hell, Gmail was in “beta” for like the first 10 years of its existence.
