I've been seeing a lot of posts about Threads privacy policy lately, where people seem genuinely shocked about it. I think it's good to raise awareness about how much data you're selling to Facebook company if you choose to use Threads, but I think it's also good to remind people (as the article does) that this happens also when you use Instagram or Facebook itself. Ditch Meta
It's not the first time either, there were loads of articles about Facebook (the app) and how it collected basically everything, so to me it isn’t that surprising Threads ticked virtually every box Apple offers too.
