You know a lot of young republicans who say their liberal so they don’t get ostracized by their friends, who are looking for any and every excuse to vote how they really want.

Let’s be honest here.

@snooggums i guess i was the only one that read OP that way. I was trying to say that it’s more of the same, that it isn’t novel or new, and we shouldn’t be surprised. my impression was OP was saying “look at how crazy this is” as in “no one has ever done this before!”

i think we can all agree with everything you said there.

I definitely got the impression from OP that you did not, but I am more than happy to admit I am not perfect, and I can take wrong meanings from things with the best of them.

cause i think we are all saying the same thing - this is fucking horrible, and no one should use any app of platform that harvests data from you this way. I just wanted to make it clear that this level of harvesting is not new. it’s not, like, going beyond a new threshold. this is what everyone signs up for when they get tiktok or facebook or even messenger.

we should be angry but not act shocked. you know what i mean?

Thanks for proving my exact point. Actually both points.

Of course not

Again the whole point of my comment is to express how UNORIGINAL it is what threads is doing

It’s terrible. I want no part of it. But we shouldn’t treat it as a brand new slew of invasions when it is most certainly the same invasions most people happily take.

But OP should make it seem like threads is going to be the first and only app that harvests that much, varied data. That’s dishonest.
