Open internet- right- even every website forces you to use the app otherwise it nags you to death or disables features, or just sucks and the app is a mass surveillance collection engine requesting access to every service and sensor on your phone or no-bueno. So open, #open.

I’m all for things being open, but what the major social apps force you to do to use them is basically criminal.
