Good Bod! Now see what thou doeth.
Apart from the list of items being somewhat generic and IP address just being unobtainable as someone else pointed out, it's just saying that they get data about users by means of the normal functioning of federation. It's ok in the same way as the server that originally hosts this community we are posting to (lemmy.ml) necessarily getting user data from our "home" servers we are posting from (feddit.de, sopuli.xyz), is ok. This is how we want it to work.
They would have to modify it for the other, "third party" server through which the user interacts with theirs, though.
Being annoyed is only one of the reasons for shying away flies but most times it would be waste of energy and attention.
Oh, i never experienced this. My thought is rather, "nobody will call anyway" ... that said, perhaps it's because i'm largely living outside of online buseness. Location: Europe mostly. What busenesses are you talking about, out of interest?
Obviously, never enter your real number in a web form unless the service depends on you getting called back ... in which case you likely would have called the company by phone anyway.
That's a feature not a bug!
Actually, users should not be required to trust the browser storage or in-app key generation, but be enabled to enter their own pgp key.
Ironicly, "conshus" one such candidate for me.
