    I’m copying pasta from my previous reply on other post

    Once they can interact with your account, they can pull your data into their server and analyzing it to deliver ads campaign.

    Just look at this

    They can connect the point of interest based on their users interactions with other users on other instances. It doesn’t matter even if you don’t use their apps, they just need to connect the points.

    Whenever an account from Threads upvote/ downvote or reply to your comments/posts or vice versa, Meta will analyze that and they can sell ads based on your political leanings, gender, geo-location, hobbies, marital status etc.

    That’s the options from what I saw on fb ads dashboard years ago. If you’re from US, that options are broader and more detailed.






  • That’s OP’s opinion and some users here, but I don’t praise it and I don’t think it will be good for fediverse in the future. People will start using Threads app since they can interact with other fediverse instance. And there will be more drama and more toxic content just like on fb, twitter, tiktok and ig.

    This is even more concerning

    I will consider to stop using lemmy…
