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

Nah thanks. I´m happy in mastodon and lemmy. Also already have whatsapp, instagram and facebook don't need any other app from meta.
I cant believe apps tracking user data this much can even be allowed on app stores

Nope the fuck out of there
It's a perfectly named app. They're pulling on the thread of privacy protection until it's all undone.
Thanks but no thanks
Defed the Thread.
Twitter has the same amount of required permissions tho. Of course it collects a lot more data than any fediverse application or site but for proprietary software its about average

Holy shit! That’s terrifying, especially from a company like Facebook
To play devils advocate, is it possible these permissions are just placeholders until the app is actually released?

So, all that isn't even enough, "other info" is needed too? This honestly will just get every single thing they can get of ya.
