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.”

Trackers, trackers and ol’ Zucc’s roboface galore.

        “Other data” that it doesn’t specify. What’s next, my shoe size and sleep schedule?

          if it has access to health it likely has sleep schedule already

            No, this doesn’t mean that they have access to your Apple Health data

        Some, like location can be blocked and same for health & fitness. You can also tell iOS to not allow an app to track you but I don’t think that blocks everything. But say you allow access to “all photos” that means they can parse the exif data from all your photos and have map of everywhere they were taken.
