the reason i care so much about #privacy is that i don’t trust my government not to turn into an authoritarian police state given the opportunity, and companies are already as authoritarian and manipulative as they can be so i don’t want to give them more power. even if they never target me directly, they’ll target other people and maybe people i care about and thats too much

Charles RoperWhat do #Meta get from harvesting all that #Threads and #Fediverse data?
Well, they can build a detailed profile on your interests.
What value do they get from knowing your interests?
Well, with this data, they can nano-target you. That is, with no other PII, they can individually identify you.
This can get pretty nasty, pretty fast.
EU's DMA and other related laws are our shield. Other countries should take note. We must remain vigilant to the coming storm.

do you ever wonder in a parallel world people call a number an umber
i fixed #threads privacy policy:
Manuel Correia"Piracy can't be stealing if paying for it isn't owning"
This is increasingly how it feels, when things you "own" digitally become inaccessible, and when shows which are locked in streaming services can get delisted on a whim, disappearing forever.
Thank you @Illuminatus for this quote.
[Edit: In case this wasn't clear, this is about entertainment and digital ownership, not physical goods]
it's such a shame you need to link your instagram account to use threads since i dont have instagram :(
this arc browser is so good
if infinite parallel universes exist, theres infinite universes where the canvas of babel works every time and nobody would know why
let's regular posting
KreigThe Zuck suck is in full swing. In the few short hours since I started using #Threads, #DuckDuckGo has already blocked over 200 data tracking attempts. These include things like "headphone status" and "screen density."
EDIT for clarity: The 200+ attempts *may* have been overcounted as DDG hadn't tooled their VPN for Threads yet.

Since my post about the #DuckDuckGo app and #Threads is still getting lots of attention, I want to be clear about how I actually feel about #DataPrivacy. It's a lot like #recycling. Yeah it's a good thing to protect your own personal data, but if we're being honest, it's not effective on an individual scale. We need good legislation at a national level to meaningfully change the game for the benefit of us all. Until then, no matter how careful you are, you're still being negatively affected.
