So #Meta's new #Threads app needs your health and fitness info. It also needs your browsing history and your location, and your purchases, and...well, it seems to need everything. If you want to get fully creeped out, here's the whole #privacy policy: https://privacycenter.instagram.com/policy/.

@protonmail I briefly worked for a company (now out of business) that harvested data through a seemingly innocent mobile app. The amount and type of data the app harvested was terrifying. And Meta is asking for more than that. Advertisers know everything about you. That's how you are inundated with ads. Now, take it a step further and imagine a company like Meta providing your personal info to bad actors and law enforcement. It's happened more than once. It will happen again.
