    I like the concept of Ground News, but about the privacy…

    According to Exodus, their mobile app contains 9 trackers:

    • Amplitude
    • AppsFlyer
    • Facebook Analytics
    • Facebook Login
    • Facebook Share
    • Google Analytics
    • Google Crashlytics
    • Google Firebase Analytics
    • Google Tag Manager

    Also wants location, camera, phone state, and advertising ID access?!

    No thanks.

      Could you just use the mobile site?

        Didn’t realize they had one, appears a lot of functionality requires an account to use. I’d be cautious overall based on the privacy practices they use in their mobile app, doesn’t seem to be a big concern for them and I’d be careful giving them any trust. But if you do wish to use them, their mobile site with a good content blocker would definitely be the best option (preferably without an account if possible).

          For sure, I haven’t used them much but I was planning to look into it when I had a chance
