The problem is, it's so inconvenient (said with sucking of teeth) to have to open a browser... go to your favorites to find a website... tap the screen for the website... sign in... All that might take up to, oh I dunno, 45 seconds, requiring two or three taps plus keyboarding vs. a one-tap app done in under 5 seconds. The latter is just…

This is the thinking, is it not? I've heard it from a younger, me being an elder, though by no means is the mindset limited to youngers. I quit (my failing) trying realizing the brick wall I was up against. --
Comment not directed at your suggestion so much as to illustrate the inculcation/brainwashing that needs to be undone. I'm in full agreement. Ditch the app that by its TOU - which nobody ever reads; they just hit "Accept" - gives access to your contacts, photos, mic, etc. People need to be fully awake and aware first I think. You get my point. Good suggestion, but... there you go. If you have any words that might have the effect of a lightning strike on psyches, please post. I'll reboot and give it another shot out there. At the moment, sign me frustrated and depleted. (I prob need the break, time to fill the well...)
I use Brave browser on my phone, and it remembers my password, so except for opening the browser, it's just as easy as opening the app. I don't have to re-sign-in every time. But you are right. The brainwashing is real. My 16-yo daughter thinks I'm insane every time I talk about privacy and how we are watched everywhere we go with everything we do....
A suggestion to train your daughter to "look up" in whatever environment she finds herself in. The cameras are everywhere. Street corners, traffic lights, outside buildings, in retail establishments often disguised under inverted, red domes, but look up and there they are. Street corners are government. What service does the retail establishment use (rhetorical, but it's likely not proprietary), and where does the data go? Does the surveillance service sell it? Share it? With government? Again, rhetorical. We likely won't know for quite some time, until the current structure crumbles. Another generation or so? But it's wise to ask the question and consider the possibilities. Maybe talk about China's social credit system, etc. The adult child here is slowly coming to some realizations. I'm praying for the day of full awakening.
