App sideloading can open the door for #privacy invasive apps. But the App Store app itself has become one of these apps.
Every iPhone user is invited to do the following:
- Open
https://privacy.apple.com- Sign in and request a copy of your data
- When you get the data, open the file highlighted in the screenshot.
Skim through the activities that the App Store app has collected about you. Worse, you can't disable this massive data harvesting. Is this ok?
