One of the truly dark tech startups in India is an app called MyGate. They bypass end-user consent by colluding with resident welfare associations. Users need it for “approving” entry for delivery services to their flat. 🧵 And in doing so, MyGate scoops up loads of end-user data, neatly structured by service provider, and frequency. There’s no opt-out since they just need to convince a bunch of people that manage these associations and individual users and their consent suddenly no longer matter.

The sooner you agree, the more the incentive. Let's see how many holdout. 😂
