It’s amazing how tone deaf technologists can be when it comes to privacy, even when they have nothing to gain by exploiting the user’s data. DDG’s response reminds me of Mark Shuttleworth’s argument that they “have root”, so we can trust them with our life.

Dear DDG, you are getting complaints on GitHub and Hacker News. This is not the general public, it’s people who understand the issue. You should definitely reconsider whether you’re doing something wrong.

If you are an Android user, in this situation you also lose access to all the apps that you bought from Google Play. Many developers only release their software through Google's app store, and for paid apps you cannot make backup copies of the APK, at least if your device isn't rooted, which it isn't for most users. If you are an Android dev, please also make your app available through other stores.

You can get 400:1 leverage at most "retail" forex brokers. You will have fewer options if you want _lower_ leverage, not higher. Something like 90% or more of traders lose all of their money, and the market maker gets to keep all of it, so they have all the interest in offering insanely high leverage. You are practically guaranteed to wipe out your account at 400:1.
