    You are posting publicly online. It’s all scrapeable.

      Yes, but I doubt Meta scrapes Reddit or Lemmy, for instance. With this change we’ll just be delivering it to them on a platter. And, knowing Meta, they’ll find ways to use the data.

        Even if Meta doesn’t do it themselves there are likely hundreds of companies that do, and Meta can pay them for the data they want.

        If it’s visible, you’re best assuming that Meta, Google, Amazon, the CIA, everyone, has a copy of it and are linking it all together behind the scenes.

        At least this way they don’t get your IP address or linked advertising cookies. Here you’re just a username and whatever you post. Unless you browse and post directly on threads that is. Those guys get all their milkshake drunk.

        If it’s on the darkweb or deepweb then MAYBE they are not, but the reason the rest of the web is not considered part of those groups is because Google/Meta/Microsoft/etc scrape it, categorize it, and process it.
