Smartphone Apps You Should Delete Before 2021
Fast Company contributor Michael Grothaus has published a list of 30+ smartphone apps you should delete before 2021. He has compiled a list of apps stress you out and tamper with your privacy.
He says, “Here’s a starter list of apps you may want to consider leaving behind with 2020 so you can start the new year off with a digital life that is more healthy, fulfilling, and economical.
APPS THAT ARE THE NEW BIG TOBACCO
When it comes to 2020, it’s fair to say the tech industry had a hard year. Yes, the tech giants made some serious bank off our lockdown lives, but they also received more scrutiny from governments than ever before. A decade ago, the companies of Big Tech were the shining knights on the hill, but today they are more likely to be described as the new Big Tobacco.
Whether that “Big Tobacco” label is fair in all cases arguable, but for one it does seem more apt than for the others: Facebook. Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff specifically called out Facebook for becoming “the new cigarettes for our society.” Even former Facebook employees say that it’s harmful to society. And now the FTC is now gunning for the company big time, too“.
