Absolutely laughable that all these corporate dumbasses are tripping over themselves to explain why their platform is more user friendly but even with near unlimited resources to build a decent product Meta et al still can't figure out a way to justify their existence without quantifying and selling their users' private behaviors
99% of apps are just a data miner placed in front of a website.
Seriously I am already struggling to get meta out of my life enough to sign in to a new service with them.
What else could be „other data“ if the rest is basically everything ? o_o

I was somewhat optimistic about this app given that they were embracing federation, felt like an important milestone like when AOL had to stick a full featured web browser in their app. But this is just gross. Don't want to be a data slut for Zuck.

Yeah I'm gonna say no thanks.
Does it want a semen sample too? Christ.
"sensitive information" I think...a good chunk of this is already sensitive information what else do you want T.T

Sad that it’s even allowed. And how many people will “agree” to this without thinking twice about what it means.

How invasive is this really when compared to the first party Twitter app?

Dont have Instagram or Facebook won't be getting this either.
Nah thanks. I´m happy in mastodon and lemmy. Also already have whatsapp, instagram and facebook don't need any other app from meta.
oh.... I saw a meme about this and thought it was just a joke.
Hackers/script kiddies must be having a heck of a party right now.
The unfortunate bit is that most people still on Instagram/FB won't care and will happily use it.
