RE: Pokémon Go a year after the hype. Are the privacy issues still a concern and how does a free app make money?

Great article. I had even read somewhere that one of the big reasons that Donald Trump won the election was because of data collected from all these free apps used to predict who will vote for him, who won't and the best strategies to use based on the user data. If I find that article again I will share it here.
