I think they are leaving out something quite important in this blog post - nobody is using their real names here.
It’s very different from Meta or Google or whatever big tech company people have accounts on, where they know your real name and many more details, such as phone number and address.
I don’t see the privacy danger in someone sweeping up what we are talking about here, since we are pseudo anonymous. Am I missing something?
Whats the value of random aliases discussing something and why is that a privacy issue?
The word “scrape” is a little bit generous IMO. Threads in particular with its endless scrolling list of required permissions is literally handing your entire phone to Facebook/Meta - saved contacts, payment information, fitness tracker and health information… half of those permissions I didn’t know even existed 😳
