Who is this brain dead to accept this agreement ACTUALLY THIS IS INSANE
I think at this point a shorter list would be the data it doesn’t collect.
One of my coworkers asked me yesterday if I was going to try Threads, and I pointed out how it was illegal in the EU because of all the data it gathers. I’m good.
Are you going to tell your coworker about mastadon if they don’t already know of it?
They know, but aren’t interested. They know I use Mastodon, which is why they asked if I was interested in Threads.
How did 30+ million people fell for this? 😲

This is /s, right?
People are actually suggesting that. Shills maybe?
I think a lot of those are just people who want to be able to talk to their non-techy friends within the fediverse, but who also either haven’t yet realized the full scale of Threads’ privacy overreach, or they don’t give a shit/think it’s irrelevant since they don’t plan to use threads themselves.
I was gonna say, it looks like the only thing they don’t own when you say yes is your image and likeness, but they’ve probably already extracted that from your IG account too.
LOL. LMAO, even.
A lot of it duplicates across categories, but I left everything in so that you can assess each category for yourself.
On top of all that Other data 🤣, like what, when my granma had her first period, lol 🤣.
Question: all these permitions are allowed by default? Or the app asks for it and you can allow them or not from Android/iOS permissions, like notifications?
You can block some things (like location data), but a lot of it is only moderated using an “Ask app not to track” button, which is more lenient.
How tf would a phone even have a way to provide that data to an app? Anyone know how exactly this works?
Apple and Android already have them, unless you didn’t fill it in.
I don’t think my phone ever asked me about health data or religion. That’s why I find this so confusing.
Health data would be sourced from your fitness apps mostly. Many phones already have one built in(Fit with Google). Sleep trackers as well. Religion would be found on dating apps.
Not saying they specifically will use those to get your info, but you said you never told you phone those things, so I’m just suggesting some ways you actually did.
I don’t think people realize how much data they leak daily.
