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.”

        Idk, literally everyone I know has a Facebook page. They may not use it, buts it’s there almost like a listing in a phone book.

            Happened to me. Had a fake profile to test some apps and when they asked for an ID, I literally sent a pic of my MIDDLE FINGER. They accepted.

    What I don’t understand is why people wound even want to use this app…

    What possible appeal could it have?

      Using Threads knowing it’s a product of Zuck, is like voting for Trump in 2024 cause he wore a different style suit.

    People here complaining about Threads and TikTok (Chinese owned) being the defacto social network for an entire generation over there without outrage, and when it’s outrage about it people just say “at least is not the US” what kind of defense is that?

      I usually don’t like these types of comments but here we go: Because in TikTok america bad memes are really popular. And TikTok is owned by the Chinese. What a coincidence.I don’t understand how TikTok is being defended here, its basically propaganda.Wasn’t there a case of like a huuge amount of videos critizising the chinese goverment removed?
