I want to add why would you have friends listed on venmo?
To send them your share of the dinner bill.
Venmo is a payment app. It’s for money transfer. What the heck is money being transferred for? We need to know who was/is sending/receiving money to/from top cabinet members.
What happens is that you have a contact list on your phone and every time you add an app it tries to suck in all of your contacts from every other app you have. I have lots of contacts on my phone of people I spoke to once and don’t intend to speak to again, but I put their name against their number so I would recognize the caller and I can take it or ignore it at will.
This is all a huge problem, but this is what happens when Big Tech, Big finance and advertising the deepstate corruptocracy and their current bought political representatives write processes and laws to protect your privacy.
