While I’m dubious of the claim due to the robust permissions management in the latest versions of iOS and Android, it is interesting that a company has come out and said they are doing what everyone is thinking.

And yes they are a subsidiary of the parent of Cox Communications, the ISP, so I would be switching to a competitor ASAP if I had their services

You’re welcome. I’m hopeful that we can get native cross posting added to Lemmy at some point to make these easier to share stuff to multiple communities in the future

Don't all posts have a crosspost button?
