So, I guess Threads is officially spyware... Not at all shocked, but, Jesus that's a lot of data they're wanting.

It is necessary... for Meta.
Their business depends on the data that is harvested from it's users.

The fact that they can't launch in EU because of how much data they are hoovering up, is a tell tale sign as to how the business is operating.

Seriously... I don't understand how people can look at that list and be like. This seems fine.

It isn't unnecessary at all, if you're Meta.

Which is the fundamental issue with a system like that.

The priority is in the wrong damn place.
