The amount of data this app collects actually makes my stomach churn. Jesus christ.
The fact that anyone is surprised by Meta’s data collection processes is surprising in itself. Did anyone not see the Facebook scandal?
This tactic is nothing new and they’re only going to get worse. It’s only a matter of time before Threads comes under the same scrutiny for predatory data collection methods.
For those like me which didn’t see the video linked it’s the Threads by Linked in the OP is talking about.
Be careful for those that install it, I guess if you delete your account there, it deletes your Instagram one too.
https://www.androidauthority.com/delete-threads-profile-3342840/Holy smokes it’d be quicker to list what data it doesn’t collect. This is the kind of stuff that should make people that use services like Instagram think twice about it.
Android: You’re going to need permission to access that data.
Meta: Then just give me all the permissions so I can have the data!
