@geerlingguy @lightweight Jeff, before you consider Threads read the summary of the various privacy policies: https://arstechnica.com/security/2023/07/how-threads-privacy-policy-compares-to-twitters-and-its-rivals/

relevant: "Some information this could include is your race, sexual orientation, pregnancy status, and religion as well as your biometric data."

Thread will sell any information about your health to advertisers if they can.. 😱
