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.”

    Yeah for real… are these people fucking retarded? There was a mass Facebook exodus for a reason… does nobody remember?

      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.

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

        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.
