Here at least on Lemmy is even worse, because they can get everyone's data even if you never access theirs instance or they could simply create a shadow one to get the data without anyone noticing permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] linucs@lemmy.ml 1 point 3 years ago It's not clear, are you saying that since they would get most of my data (which is an already flawed argument since for example now I have my partner, best friends and family on Signal which are 95% of my conversations, as opposed to 5% of people whom I talk to on Whatsapp) I should give them all of it? The second point doesn't even require to have Threads, they could already do that, now what? permalink fedilink source parent
