Yep. That’s why I call Meta/Facebook… MeatHook
I’ve reported it as spyware on google play. Let’s see if they ever get around to answering :-P
ah yes, reporting spyware to the company famous for having spyware on literally everything they make
Take me back in time to the 2000s when the most scandalous spyware was a purple gorilla virtual assistant telling awful jokes with a TTS voice.
Off topic, but I keep hearing your comments in Max Headroom’s voice. This one was especially suitable for that!
I cannot comprehend how are people using these apps. Why would you want want to be tracked and targeted by a corporation like Meta is beyond me, what are you gaining in return of your whole data
A friend of mine simply tried using Threads just to see how shitty it would be. She thought that it would be as simple as a quick download followed by a swift delete.
Turns out, you can’t delete your Threads account without nuking your Instagram account either. She’s stuck with the Threads account now.
Genuinely, are you asking why people like social media in general?
For one reason or another, they find the platform to be some combination of useful or entertaining and a good way to connect with people they care about. If you don’t otherwise have significant personal issues about advertising, it’s not an unreasonable position to think that the pros outweigh the cons, even if you have different priorities.
