    As long as you are aware of what is being shared then you have an informed choice to make.

      Yes, this is the reason Meta keeps fighting Apple and Google when the app stores add marginal transparency.

      I wonder how many people will even consider the possibility that they need to check those permissions carefully lest the social media app collect health data?

        I think the culture/training of not even reading terms and conditions leads to people not checking what they give away to apps and software.

    I’ve been seeing a lot of posts about Threads privacy policy lately, where people seem genuinely shocked about it. I think it’s good to raise awareness about how much data you’re selling to Facebook company if you choose to use Threads, but I think it’s also good to remind people (as the article does) that this happens also when you use Instagram or Facebook itself. Ditch Meta

      I know I shouldn’t still be jarred by stuff like this, but I am. It’s like when I encounter people who don’t use adblockers and they just sit in their chair and watch that shit. I really wish normal people gave more of a shit about this stuff.

        It’s amazing what people put up with when they don’t know better. It’s the same when ever I sit somewhere with the TV on. It’s just pure garbage wether the commercials are on or not.

          TV is just baffling in the internet era. They pay up the ass to watch ads and I don’t get it. Online when I pay for services it’s to avoid ads, but TV viewers get the worst of both.
