Threads privacy hell
Within 5 minutes of usage my pihole instance blocked 100s of request and DDG app protection blocked facebook trackers. This should be illegal
Did anyone see the privacy details on the App Store?

Sounds like they found their life easier by just not bothering with EU. Now I wonder, what kind of result you would've gotten if they had decided to try and comply enough so that GDPR wouldn't crucify them again.

5 0 ReplyThat's the fun part! GDPR requires these things to be clear and whatever waiver you sign doesn't hold.

It’s even slower than Lemmy was at the start of the week, and absolute shite to boot.
7 0 ReplyAre you automatically signed up for this since it’s part of Facebook? I really have no interest in threads at all or do I have to manually opt out of it?
4 0 Reply@ThatGirlKylie No, you aren't signed up for it automatically, nor do you have to opt out if you have a Facebook account. This is aimed at Instagram users.
4 0 ReplyI think you meant Twitter, since Instagram is already owned by Meta.
