This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Yikes.
I was somewhat optimistic about this app given that they were embracing federation, felt like an important milestone like when AOL had to stick a full featured web browser in their app. But this is just gross. Don't want to be a data slut for Zuck.
Any big major for profit company embracing federation is purely for their own revenue generating goals and have no explicit want to be actually good stewards of the Internet, its communities, and about their participation.
Participating in Federation is another way for Meta to suck up as much data as it can to sell its advertising services.
I cant believe apps tracking user data this much can even be allowed on app stores
Think it is missing: Your first born child
This is why I ditched Facebook many years ago. The first time they started to change their TOS and privacy stuff I noped out.
Nope the fuck out of there
Holy shit! That’s terrifying, especially from a company like Facebook
So, all that isn't even enough, "other info" is needed too? This honestly will just get every single thing they can get of ya.
Absolutely laughable that all these corporate dumbasses are tripping over themselves to explain why their platform is more user friendly but even with near unlimited resources to build a decent product Meta et al still can't figure out a way to justify their existence without quantifying and selling their users' private behaviors
Sad that it’s even allowed. And how many people will “agree” to this without thinking twice about what it means.
Defed the Thread.
Twitter has the same amount of required permissions tho. Of course it collects a lot more data than any fediverse application or site but for proprietary software its about average
Thanks but no thanks
Man, it really looks like a lot when you stack it like that!
Basically like Instagram
So just everything then.
No, this is the data they would like to collect from those foolish enough to grant it.
