In the few short hours since I started using #Threads, #DuckDuckGo has already blocked over 200 data tracking attempts. These include things like “headphone status” and “screen density.”

        People left Facebook because it got overwhelmed with their parents and grandparents, not because they ever cared about privacy.

        Idk, literally everyone I know has a Facebook page. They may not use it, buts it’s there almost like a listing in a phone book.

            Happened to me. Had a fake profile to test some apps and when they asked for an ID, I literally sent a pic of my MIDDLE FINGER. They accepted.

              Did you make sure to remove the EXIF metadata? It would be ironic if it has the image location coordinates in it.

          The phone book was not a big tech corporation, which is why it was a suitable place to have your phone number.

            It was owned by a big tech corporation, Ma Bell. And then it got broken up and there were just a bunch of smaller monopolies printing phone books.

          I know not a single one who has that. My wife uses WhatsApp and Instagram though.
