    Is there a reason that the web is not a target of react native? It seems somewhat insane to have a cross platform approach and leave out the biggest platform of all, the web. Or - …

    Even if the app had it in their privacy policy, that would not mean it is legal to send your data to Facebook. GDPR requires the users consent to do so. Having a statement in a pri…

    You wish poverty on millions? How much does Greece have to pay per year? I think it's something like $5bn? AFAIK they have a GDP of $300bn and $100bn of that are converted into tax…
