The results are in around the #Meta / #Threads poll I put out a week ago and over 8.2K people have voted, thank you all
The recent App Store screenshots from the 'App Privacy' from Meta's new app Threads have concerned me and with the current status the question remains if it's even allowed within Europe
The chance that they will ever federate with us remains the question but with their current platform as-is we are gonna block them until many things improved
Keep in mind that the privacy settings from the Threads app you see on the screenshot only applies on THEIR platform
But I cannot be fully sure to what extend their data collection goes as far as search results for example
Until we have a better picture of how their new platform is gonna run in somewhat more details we can make a better decision
When / IF #Threads will release within Europe we will take another look and make a decision but until that happens we will keep the block
Since we are hosted in Europe I'm not sure it would be clever to federate with a platform that is not allowed in the EU
@stux Fair enough!
@trinsec Haha yup! But i dont wanna take the risk
