I'll make it clear that we're talking about ad trackers.

When adding such trackers to the application, do you have any thoughts that this is wrong?

    Yeah.

    Do you mean "programmers" by developers?

    Or do you mean "the people who are involved in the development of the app"?

    Because the money & marketing people are the ones who want trackers.

    But they are usually such a high prio for the app that it's put them in or get fired.

      I have always been called a developer in my career, but yeah, I am a programmer/code monkey. Developer sounds posher, but we all know what we really do. I like programming, writing code, and I could do without all the bureaucracy that goes with it, some of which I really hate.

      I think marketers are not concerned about moral issues. The opinion of programmers is interesting.

      Every year there are more and more different trackers in the applications and this is upsetting.
