    Show me one weather app that’s state-sponsored (therefore: paid by taxes) that sells data to boost income.

      Nearly every weather app that exists is repackaging data from an official, tax funded source. Apps using weather underground data possibly being the only exception.

      Show me one that doesn’t want location permissions and such. So now they’ve got Your data and can do as they please with it.

        The weather source. Not the application source. A dude needs to sit down and write that part.

              You’re having an argument with a voice in your head or something. I’m just going to tag you and go about my morning. Good luck with whatever it is you’re dealing with.

                I almost forgot this is Technology, where the most insane tech views are the norm…
