> This level of scrutiny is really excellent. Now we need to apply it to other companies working in the same space.
Facebook is and should be held in the same esteem as those lot. I was talking about threads specifically.
Sure, facebook the app is all up in your junk. But the apple label about "it stealing your health data" is nonsense[1]. Why isn't there a permissions dialogue asking me to share my health data, like fitness apps? Does apple specifically allow Facebook apps to get at my health data unannounced? what about apple pay, is that leaking to facebook as well?
None of the FAANG companies are reliable narrators. Regardless of how good their PR is.
Sure facebook will rat you out to the police, They don't spend anywhere near enough time or money doing actual proper moderation. They also totally suck at making new products (threads is the first new product with any success since messenger, and that sucks donkeycocks.) are they "nobel heros" fuck no. They are just trendy whipping sticks.
> Scary people hoovering up data - they will and do monetise it
> Is threads (Facebook) actually setting out to hoover that data? I doubt it
So Facebook is the noble player; Twitter, Google, Apple, TikTok the bad guys ... Mark Zuckerberg isnt going to buy you a horse for your efforts.
"they trust me, dumb fucks"
