Did anyone see the privacy details on the App Store?

It's sadly not any worse than Instagram already is.

That's true. That's why I don't use either of them.

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.

Likely they'll continue to do the same with gdpr, just make you click through a dark pattern agreement popup.
Jourei@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 3y
That's the fun part! GDPR requires these things to be clear and whatever waiver you sign doesn't hold.

Edit: Can be said for any Meta item really.

Rotation and accelerometer data? So they want to know how you hold the phone in your hand when using the app? lol

Probably meant to be a way to estimate where you are if you have GPS turned off

iirc Google uses motion data to track if you're walking, biking, car, etc, so I wouldn't be surprised if Facebook/Meta did the same.

It is

30 million people still signed up… supposedly. It’s just insane to me.

I don’t understand why you’d use any meta product if you’re concerned about this kind of thing.

I don't, i just want to check
sunbather@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y
Fair enough 😄

It’s even slower than Lemmy was at the start of the week, and absolute shite to boot.

Are 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?
khazram@mastodon.social · 4 pts · 3y
@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.
billiam0202@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y
I think you meant Twitter, since Instagram is already owned by Meta.
khazram@mastodon.social · 3 pts · 3y
@billiam0202 I’m sorry, what I meant was the integration that Threads has with Insta users (ability to migrate Insta acct to Threads and not a users FB account). You are correct though, Zuck is definitely looking to take Twitter users from Elon.

Gotcha. Thanks for clarifying!
