Comment on Promoted on TikTok, ‘No Thanks’ boycott app targets products tied to Israel

That’s the thing about data collection: its a lot of money to store. How are they funding the operation unless turning you into the product?
Are you referring to data on users, or data on the products this app tracks? The app doesn’t need to store user data beyond what is required for it to function. Even if it stored such data, each user will only take up a few kilobytes because it’s just text data.
As for the data on the products, by far the largest files would be images. The rest is just text data.
Standard Google Cloud Storage is $0.20/GB per month. There’s no need for this app to store 16k+ photos, so the actual storage costs are negligible.

Let’s hope you are right. I personally think an app of this nature should be fully open source.
