So, I guess Threads is officially spyware... Not at all shocked, but, Jesus that's a lot of data they're wanting.

I cannot comprehend how are people using these apps. Why would you want want to be tracked and targeted by a corporation like Meta is beyond me, what are you gaining in return of your whole data
A friend of mine simply tried using Threads just to see how shitty it would be. She thought that it would be as simple as a quick download followed by a swift delete.
Turns out, you can't delete your Threads account without nuking your Instagram account either. She's stuck with the Threads account now.
