Gregory's ServerRe “Zuckerberg's new app that uploads your entire phone.”
Please explain what you mean by this claim. I just looked at Threads app permissions on my phone, and Android says “No permissions granted.”

@ColinOatley @mastodonmigration Threads uploads a tonne of permissions on iOS (not entirely sure how it works on iOS; does it prompt for some of the more invasive permissions these days?). On Android, there's far less permissions, however. Don't forget though, on either platform, the data you enter is being sucked into Meta's worrying advertising platform. |
