I wonder how many semi-popular apps there are doing the same but because they aren't that people no one is checking them the way people check Zoom nowadays.

Apps _and_ websites. jpost.com, the domain of the submission, is making calls to Twitter, Google, spot.im (???) and CloudFlare. I don't remember giving them permission to send my data there.

Bit ridiculous. I feel like browsers gonna have to get a lot better/locked down before we can actually enforce anyone to be responsible for sending data all over the place.
