I’m almost willing to put money on the fact Facebook likely has shady stuff buried in “Threads” code. The sheer invasiveness of them just makes it hard to think otherwise.
- That’s for sure, they don’t have to hide it either just look at the app permissions on the App Store
- Who needs lobbying when you can just collect blackmail data on politicians because they willingly install your app?
  
  I doubt many national level politicians run their campaign accounts on their personal phones. In fact, I bet theres only one who does that.
This is also evidence that bluesky is going to Google+ themselves out of a market share by slow rolling so much.
Wild that people just don’t mind being exploited by a social network like that.
- The majority are either commercial accounts and “influencers” or placeholder accounts for Instagram users.
  There have already been cases of people who never even downloaded the app being recommended to other people because they have an Instagram account.
