What the actual fuck. How can we trust any third party app ever? I guess we can’t.

It shouldn't be normal that this data is stolen and sold. That is 100% the problem, not the fact that people track things on computers.

it shouldn't be, but that's the world we live in. we can't change it anymore.

No, but you can still choose to choose software that doesn't steal and sell your data. You can also support laws that make doing this illegal.
