I saw a blurp on the news this morning about #threads from Meta. It's being advertised as a #twitter clone, which makes perfect sense from a marketing point of view, especially with the Twitter implosion taking place..

So, out of morbid curiosity, it led me here. Umm.. Why??

Needless to say, my curiosity has ended.. #threadsapp #meta #metaverse #privacy #privacyrights #privacymatters #privacypolicy

@jamieannmason How does this compare to the permissions required by the Facebook app?

@SpeedflyChris

Actually, I'm not sure. I'm not on Facebook.

@jamieannmason Nice of them to tell us upfront about the theft rather than hiding it and denying it after the fact. Refreshing.

I can go there with that. I admire transparency. However, it's not for me.

@jamieannmason my bigger question is why ios even allows sharing stuff like Browser and search history with other apps at all.
