I actually discovered this via a Nebula video, but Nebula requires a subscription. But here’s the video if you’re curious.

Doesn't seem all that significant to me. If you don't want then to have your event info, don't give it to them.

I think the concern is the tracking of offline social networks

Ah the old "if you don't like it, don't use it" nonsense. As if society as a whole isn't adopting these platforms and simply expecting you to do the same.

I've had several people send me Partiful invites, including many who should know better. I haven't RSVP'd to any of them, and I let them know why.

The only way to RSVP to a Partiful event is with your phone number, which is probably the single most identifiable PII, so I'm very unsurprised to learn that it's founded by some of the prolific data brokers on the planet.
