Not defending this, but isn't this basically also what Instagram (and every other mainstream social media app) takes? Doesn't make it right obviously but considering 99% of users for this thing are coming from Instagram/Facebook in the first place Meta already knows everything about them anyway.

Meta knows they can’t fix their terrible privacy record so they might as well milk it.

They misspelled their service, should be: threats (to your privacy).

Sadly people will still jump there. It will eventually overtake Mastodon in numbers because people are dependent on the convenience of walled gardens.

Is that.. all of them??? Lmao

That's gonna be a NOPE for me, chief.

Financial Info, Identifiers, Sensitive Info... Woudn't it be easier just to give them my wallet and passport.

I know meta is shit anyways, but what is the idea behind their Twitter competitor, like what is their selling point?

Can anyone explain how these are different from the data Meta already collects from its Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger users? I've been slowly moving my online presence away from Meta products, but I feel like Threads isn't going to do much better than BlueSky, or Hive, or Post, or even our beloved Mastodon.

1 permission short of asking for the soul of your first born...

No, this is the data they would like to collect from those foolish enough to grant it.

On android you can take away all permissions though and it still works fortunately. On my phone i didn't give it one single permission. Or is there some way to gather sensitive data anyway for the app?

99% of apps are just a data miner placed in front of a website.

Sensitive Info, Health Data? õÔ

Because this information is very valuable to advertisers who want to target to customer base. If Meta sells them the users who happen to be X, Y, and Z and also happen to be searching recently for a similar product, Boom they’ve got themselves a likely customer. Much easier than advertising to the masses and hoping 0.1% will bite.

It’s all about discreet money making. The advertisers and Meta only care about how to make money off you.

Can I post here from this instance?

Dude I have a step counting app that doesn't even need that shit. It just goes off the gyro. Definitely have no reason to be giving a social media app access to that shit.

They're the same as for Facebook and Instagram and since this one is perhaps most geared towards existing Instagram users, there won't be much more data given because you've probably already done it.

What else could be „other data“ if the rest is basically everything ? o_o

Seriously I am already struggling to get meta out of my life enough to sign in to a new service with them.

Does it want a semen sample too? Christ.

Is there anything left where they don’t want any permission? Ooof

do they also need nude pictures of me?, or with the blood type and a medical history is enough
