As I deleted the logging service I was using (because of GRPD) these options are not used anymore. Logging is only used when debugging.

This logging is local, this shouldn't be affected by GDPR, this is needed when debugging; we can also not insert this, but we'll have to add it in every time we debug.

Regarding GDPR, I think you should write somewhere that this app connects to your server for the mercury api, I'm not sure how it is regulated but I think you should declare it.

What does it add to the default logcat ?

We only add the logs where and when needed, so I don´t see the issue.

This is only an api call that does not collect any data, so I don´t have to.

This allows logging using the Napier library which is required to log from commonMain. For example this line doesn't log anything if this piece of code is not included.

I am not sure about this. Potentially you could be logging the request on your server, thus you could be keeping track of the articles one person is reading. I know nothing about GDPR, but I believe you should state somewhere wether you are actually keeping that data or not.

Ok. I went to see what DebugAntilog did as it wasn't clear.

I'll merge it.
