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.”

absolutely wild, was going to (naively) give it a go, but I work on telemetry for a big platform and cannot in good faith use this product.
Genuine question: what made you work on that if you see telemetry as a threat?
If I based my concerns off of what I worked on, I’d actually probably be cool with it. Things are generally taken very seriously and the general discourse around how things are handled (at least to my knowledge) are wildly exaggerated. However, knowing just how things work end to end and how Meta tends to handle things, I think accepting something like the terms they lay out will give them freedom to do whatever they want with whatever they want.
That might seem obvious to most folks but I guess it’s more just be saying yeah they’ll take as much as you can give them.
