Is it even possible for Facebook to do “even more” privacy violations?
Well. Apparently so.
In just a matter of days, Meta’s new Threads app has reached 100 million users, solidifying the Twitter competitor’s claim to the title of the most rapidly downloaded app ever.
That rapid growth has concerned privacy experts, who warn that few users realize just how much information the app collects. They point out that Meta has put the launch of Threads in the European Union on hold because it’s unclear whether the way the company handles user data and shares it across different platforms, including Threads, will run afoul of impending privacy regulations.
Haha.
It’s not even legal in the EU because it is such a hardcore spy app.
Of course, it’s legal to spy in the US, because we have the First Amendment, which was designed to protect the rights of multinational corporations to invade the private lives of citizens.
“Several of the privacy concerns with Threads tie back to Meta’s history of concerning privacy practices,” said Calli Schroeder, senior counsel and global privacy counsel at the Electronic Privacy Information Center (Epic), a digital privacy nonprofit. “I haven’t seen any evidence that Meta is being transparent about what it will do with sensitive personal data or is clearly establishing why it is collecting that data other than ‘because we want to’.”
Well, they “want to” so they can send it to private companies and the US government.
It’s very profitable.
The list of past practices that give experts like Schroeder cause for concern is long. In addition to being under a FTC consent decree because of previous improper collection and use of data in the US, Meta has also been fined for collecting sensitive personal data without obtaining the proper consent under the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
…
Just like its sister platforms, Instagram and Facebook, Threads can and will collect a great deal of data on its users.
Meta’s apps receive whatever information users enter, said Meta spokesperson Emil Vazquez.
That can include sensitive data such as health and fitness information, financial information, location and browsing history, according to the app store entry for Threads.
All of that is categorized and sold.
We’ve been through all of this.
Everyone knows and apparently, no one cares.
The platform provides the company with information on what posts users engage with and whom they are following. That includes “the types of content you view or interact with and how you interact with it”, as well as how long and how often you use Threads, according to the Threads privacy policy. In addition to users’ Threads activity, the company’s privacy policy indicates it also has access to GPS location, cameras, photos, IP information, the type of device being used and device signals including “Bluetooth signals, nearby Wi-Fi access points, beacons and cell towers”.
It’s basically “your entire life.”
But look – you can trust this Zuckerberg guy, and you can trust every corporation and government he sells all this information to.
They are only going to use it for advertisements. And to build models on your behavior so they can do psychological operations against you, like the coronavirus hoax, the BLM hoax, or the Ukraine war hoax.
Combined, this information can paint an extremely detailed and intricate map of people’s lives, particularly when taken together with all of the data Meta already collects through Facebook, Instagram and Meta Pixel.
Meta Pixel, a short piece of code that can be added to websites, tracks and analyzes visitor activity, after which various versions of that data are shared with Meta. For instance, several pharmacies and grocery chains reportedly share sensitive information with Meta and other social platforms through Pixel including whether consumers added Plan B or HIV or pregnancy tests to their carts, according to news website the Markup.
…
“We should absolutely be concerned about the amount of data Meta can hold on individuals,” Schroeder of Epic said. “Not only is this a huge risk for breaches – and Meta has already had and been penalized for several major data breaches in the past – but the data can be used to infer even more information about an individual that they may not voluntarily share.”
These privacy “watchdogs” never do anything.
But it’s not really their fault, maybe.
The issue is that the population doesn’t care.
Mark Zuckerberg says he’s not thinking about monetization of users on his Twitter clone, Threads, but that’s a lie. His business model is selling our data to advertisers.

big surprise, suckerberg throws out a big bag of sheeplechow and the morons stampede to gobble down the feed, designed to fatten them up. while their snout down in the trough, zuk and his buddies fleece and fuck their oblivious flock, while preparing to fillet them and forget them.

Why do they even bother with this farce, just have the CIA directly run a social media site and have government decree that people are only allowed to use that. The majority of people are so retarded that they would go along with that, of course in the name of “fighting misinformation” or “diversity” or other such shit the ZOG narrators come up with.
What do you think Facebook is? It was founded the day after a CIA cutout shut down operations on a test of software identical to what Facebook does.
People are really stupid. “Hey this ZuckerBERG guy is so good and generous, he let’s us use this cool app for free and doesn’t even charge money for it, wow”.
Others think, “oh it’s just for advertisements”, but it isn’t. The whole CoronaHoax wouldn’t have been possible without smaprtphones and social media. Essentially it was a social media pandemic.
Draw all sorts of conclusions, about Mark Zuckerberg seems more interested in money than political power. The guy just can’t get enough of that moolah.
All together now…1..2..3..FUCK THE ZUCK!
As opposed to Musk using Twitter to do invasive data collection?
This but unironically.
Why would a slave object to being owned by its owners?
It’s normal for slaves to wander around naked, both in the concrete sense and in the abstract. Slaves don’t comprehend the idea of privacy in the first place.
DARPA. Close enough.

Zuckerdevil is a Mossad asset, always has been.
Jew devils marching the world to Antichrist.
Wake Up, People.
I’ll never forget the time a jew commercial came on asking for shekels for the poor jews who were starving and living in shacks. They had survived the holocaust. Mike Huckebee added his two cents about Christians needing to donate to Gods chosen.
At the same time, I was reading about Zuckerberg giving 12 million dollars to Pennsylvania democrats to help elect the likes of Shapiro and Uncle Fester. 12 million to one state!
Boy, do I miss Modern Heretic. Every. Single. Time.
Anyone stupid enough to use any Zuckerberg owned site deserves what they get.
Facebook, Amazon, Google and Twitter and the other internet corporations must no longer be allowed to maintain the massive propaganda power they control. These anti-White and anti-Christian corporations are colluding with the SPLC and the ADL to maintain a totalitarian control of propaganda in the USA and many other nations.
Patriots in all European Christian nations — such as the USA, the UK, Australia, Germany, Italy, France…etc. — will have to remove the current executives and owners from power. Mark Zuckerberg and the rest of the internet propaganda apparatus plutocrats must be removed from power. You can’t negotiate with these people, you must remove them from power.
The current global order is disintegrating. Think big. When the upcoming global financial implosion hits many things that now seem radical will be deemed necessary measures to restore political balance.
Mark Zuckerberg Is An Enemy Of The European Christian Ancestral Core Of The United States.
Mark Zuckerberg and the CHEAP LABOR FACTION of the Republican Party push mass legal immigration and mass illegal immigration and amnesty for illegal alien invaders.
Mass legal immigration and mass illegal immigration increases housing costs, lowers wages, swamps schools, overwhelms hospitals, destroys habitat for wildlife, causes urban and suburban sprawl, creates multicultural mayhem and brings infectious diseases and terrorism to the United States of America.
If you leave Twitter for Threads, then you deserve every bit of censorship and control that is coming your way. Twitter, by the way, may have just single-handedly prevented a 2nd Chernobyl (https://twitter.com/WarClandestine/status/1677019105818206216?t=985ozwjbSpLGlWMqA1kzkw&s=19).
OT(ish) I wasn’t paying attention to the Andrew Tate drama – I pretty much had no idea who he even is, apart from knowing he seemed to be calumniated by retards and the kommisars who direct NAFO/NPC.
My Rumble feed auto-started his recent interview with Tucker Carlson while I was making something to eat and it got interesting very quickly.
I watched about an hour while I was doing a Zwift session, then watched about another hour in the bath.
Either the guy is a consummate actor who was using the Tucker interview to retcon and gaslight, or his shtick is basically “Jordan Peterson without being fake and ghey”.
He’s apparently a mulatto – but very light-skinned and thin-lipped, so maybe his Dad was less blek than Tate is claiming.
He’s also got one of the most fucked-up accents I’ve ever heard.
Anyway – why aren’t the Men of Unz (and the Stormers) talking about this dude? (Or if they are, where?)
If his story is ‘as presented’, then it’s a clear perversion of the course of justice – basically that old line attributed to Richelieu… “Give me six lines written by the most honest man, and I will find something in it to have him hanged.”
now they can post cat pics faster and political nonsense to their sheep/group thk “friends”
Andrew Tates father is Emory Tate, a chess grandmaster. Emory Tate wasn’t full Black, maybe 3/4 Black.
They’re USAians. And they love the hustle and the huckstering-it was and is all abt the hyper crapitalism. That’s what life was abt to the USAians and their vassals
And the EU colonies love licking the anus of the us empire. They love it. And certainly like taking it up the rectum–just ask the average European–they LOVE the us .
They copy cat what their US masters tell them.
Freedom??!? Democracy??!! That’s funny.
Tate is a cowardly piece of turd

Things do seem to have calmed down – at least for this week.
Good points -lot of ‘crickets and tumbleweeds’ regarding that person amongst certain critical thinking individuals.
The USAins love this feces. It helps them get through their cubicle hamster wheeling “existence”.

When bignosed CIA censor cunt Renee DiResta blithers about murmuration, she’s going back to her CIA indoctrination with the “birds of a feather” concepts for NKVD-type guilt by association. The batshit cooze is a fake academic running CIA proprietaries out of Stanford to design a panopticon for totalitarian control:
https://qz.com/1145669/googles-true-origin-partly-lies-in-cia-and-nsa-research-grants-for-mass-surveillance
The homely wop’s secret-agent mission is to change freedom of association from a universal human right to adverse information against insufficiently brainwashed subjects.
CIA picked Zuck to front facebook when they shut Lifelog down in public revulsion.
Despite her third-tier toilet Stony Brook degree and being too ugly to fuck her way to the top, pupil-less mustachioed dago Renee DiResta has had like 30 super-successful Epstein-style executive leadership achievements. Those made it onto her bio, unlike her CIA internship in sniffing everybody’s panties.
https://public.substack.com/p/why-renee-diresta-leads-the-censorship
Meanwhile, hirsute wop DiResta was setting up standard CIA ratfucks to install controlled legislators.
The way she’s fucking up the CIA brainwashing project, losing control of Twitter, soon she’s going to get kicked upstairs to Epstein’s kiddy-pimping blackmail project, which has an opening. She’s loyal enough to start with her own swarthy brats for XXX cheesy-pizza sucknfuck action!
I have a Huawei stupidphone, only bought it because none of the phones by Japanese makers matched it, except on one point: it has no IrDA, Too bad.
Played games from Huawei shop a little, most are vampirical, some were funny, but not great games, I checked the data usage rates, then stopped. Of course, one can run programs from fossdroid, or google, or if you’re smart like me, turn fav ‘apps’ from an older device into apks and port them across.
Great battery life, too. After over four years, still good, Clearly shorter than at first
(abt. half), but I pay in my contract for a maintenance clause, so should be able to get a new battery.
Partly I bought at the time because, except Kyocera (a design for n00bs),, all of the other models were based on Google designs.
Also, a push factor for me at the time was the U.S. attack on Huawei, if they’re doing that, I’ll take a Huawei. I’m a little sad that it isn’t a Kyocera, as until now, but the only Kyocera choice was for children and old people.
