Yes, sadly, @basecamp, which is independent and which we pay for, and where I uploaded it to, apparently uses it under the bonnet (as I just realised).
Any chance we could make Basecamp a #SurveillanceCapitalism-free zone, @jasonfried? Asking as a customer.https://twitter.com/PatrickHeneise/status/990261947709952001 …

Is the issue that they use Google Cliud services for storage? I’m guessing the licence/contract for the storage says they can’t read/use that data. If that’s true, is there an issue with it being provided by Google?

Oh, sure, if it’s end to end encrypted & we have auditable means of proving no data collection or profiling are being carried out by Alphabet, Inc., that’s fine. Although, again, you’re financially supporting an entity whose business model is based on doing all those things.

Do you not think a contract saying they wont use it is enough? They’re happy to collect according to their privacy policy, but they dont seem to breach contracts to do it? Also arguably, youre providing an alternate source of funding that makes them less reliant on current model
