I chose flask because it's very easy to create APIs using flask. I also tried to make the API using Java but I couldn't figure out how to package it and host it on my server
I am not GreyTechno. I have just used an apk made by them to forward messages to my server.
I got it when I went for a tour, I had to get an SIM from there because the SIM I have doesn't work there. However since I am back home I no longer need that SIM so I thought let's do some experiments with it.
basically to create throwaway accounts like we use temp mails.
Yeah I was afraid of doing that because of the reasons you said here.

I call them normies not because I look down upon them or I hate them I do that because whenever I educate them to use privacy oriented services they mock me saying "you are crazy" "you aren't president" "nobody cares about your data" yada yada yada...
What made you think this is spam?
