    I’ve reported it as spyware on google play. Let’s see if they ever get around to answering :-P

        True, but google might have enough spite to stick it to meta, who knows.

    And all of it 100% unnecessary. Which is painful to think about the 30M people that signed up without caring about this.

      It isn’t unnecessary at all, if you’re Meta.

      Which is the fundamental issue with a system like that.

      The priority is in the wrong damn place.

      Seriously… I don’t understand how people can look at that list and be like. This seems fine.

      It is necessary… for Meta.
      Their business depends on the data that is harvested from it’s users.

      The fact that they can’t launch in EU because of how much data they are hoovering up, is a tell tale sign as to how the business is operating.

    Lol “sensitive info 👁️” Like what are they looking at? 😳Do they really need to link the nudes to my identity?

      It’s a list of sensitive info and then there’s “sensitive info” as a separate category. Wild.

    and likely that is the reason why it did not come to EU on start

    Collecting so much info there aren’t enough categories to cover it all

    I don’t have an iOS device so I can’t be 100% sure, its all well and good that people are talking about the privacy problems with Threads, but doesn’t Apple’s privacy page say exactly the same things for Instagram? Why is Threads in the limelight for abusing user privacy like its a shock when Meta’s other apps also do exactly the same.

      Because hating on Threads is cool right now. The spotlight should be on Meta as a whole.

    I had not heard of that new shit. Randomnly went to theverge, and and saw they are forcefeeding this new Threads to everyone as the “top articles”. Almost 100K posts already, 35millions accounts activated. People just don’t learn.

      I wouldn’t say it’s force-feeding for a news site to report on the highly successful launch of a new social network by one of the largest tech companies in the world that’s also directly aiming to compete with a platform owned by a very controversial and frankly entertaining megalomaniac.

      If anything, I’d say they’re a poor news organization if they didn’t cover it.

    How can they have an “Other data” category? I thought Apple was so focused on your privacy but they can’t even list all the data apps are tracking. The android screenshot listed mush more.

      I know that it’s just me being cynical, but in my head, there’s no way that the “other” category isn’t by far the largest one out of them all.
