Meta's planned Twitter killer, Threads, isn't yet publicly available but it already looks like a privacy nightmare...

Interestingly it seems like the main reason is not the enormous data gathering list that has been posted a few times, but rather the connection to Instagram and whether the two services are allowed to share user data.

Meta is also using Threads as a test bench for the Digital Markets Act, so they are probably holding off the launch until they can get federation going.

It really worries me that they're trying to be federated with it. Thankfully lots of instances will block it, but it was only a matter of time until a corporation decided to take aim at federation.
