I was wondering why I can’t follow people from Threads on Mastodon and found out it’s because the server I’m on has blocked interoperability with Threads.

Wow, so what are my options here? Nag the admins? Switch my account to a different server? What do I lose if I do that? Which one do I switch to? 🤔

I’m disappointed that mas.to is currently blocking Threads though thankfully it’s more of a wait and see vs FU from the server admin

Absolutely predictable consequence of server operators preemptively blocking Threads. People will either migrate to larger servers that don't, or to Threads altogether. I would hate to see you leave Mastodon even if you were still in my home feed through Threads, simply because I believe Mastodon is the better platform. I hope it doesn't come to it.

@Gargron Don't you think this will be a common thing? I wonder if Meta sees the Fediverse as a potential future threat. They tend to quash threats early. E.g. Instagram & WhatsApp. They know it’ll be difficult to get Mastodon users to switch, so their plan is ‘interoperability’, AKA make 95% of the Fediverse Threads profiles. I predict they'll stop short of allowing algorithmic visibility for Mastodon posts, thus enticing a sufficient number to switch, and slowing Fediverse growth.
@Eugen Rochko

IMPORTANT. Threads stated policy is to collect and exploit Fediverse user personal data without explicit consent.

Now is a very good time to review Threads Terms of Use (terms.threads.com/terms-of-use) and Supplemental Privacy Policy (help.instagram.com/51523043730…).

Note just by following a Threads user or replying to a post, Meta claims they are entitled to your personal data.

And what do they say they will do with your data? Provide you with "business services (including ads)."

@Gargron I still have a lot of concerns that by making something public, that anyone finding it considers themselves entitled to use it for any purpose. I suspect there are several content licenses that provide solutions. It's probably not a Mastodon concern, but maybe it's something that belongs in ActivityPub.

@Gargron Yes, but this does not address the issue. The concern expressed here is the use of this identity data, as well as Mastodon user content and interactions, for the purpose of Threads broader business services, including ads.

@Gargron @rexum

Think that the focus on ads misses the point. The primary issue is not the display of ads, but rather the collection and analysis of Fediverse user personal data and content, and the use of it for profiling the user. The concern is that such data is taken from the Fediverse and is used to fill out Meta's profile of the user and then exploited for whatever purpose, including but not at all limited to ads.

@Gargron @rexum Would welcome the opportunity to clarify the matter then. What Threads policy says is that they can use this Third Party Information, whatever you want to call it, for their business purposes. One of the concerns that Fediverse users have is the Terms of Use that platforms like Threads employ, and which Mastodon does not. It would be great for Threads to clarify that they will not exploit Fediverse user data and content in the same way they do users who sign up for their service.

@Gargron

Please see the conversation below and the clarifications above.

It seems that Threads has two versions of their Supplemental Privacy Policy. The EU version does not raise concerns, but the US version does. Further, the fact there are two different versions, confirms that the matter is a real concern.

Raising this issue is not "against" Threads integration. Lots of good can come from big players joining distributed social media, but only if we can protect our data privacy rights.

Sure they can. Remember the email services that append ads to emails?
I don’t understand the business plan of Threads, other than acquiring user data to resell. Letting users take their followers and content is a tell that it isn’t about walling in threads with a moat. Rather maybe to expand Threads moat to the entire Fediverse?
It’s very puzzling.
Thank you for your work and insights.

@Gargron I can already think of one way if they are devious enough - If I follow someone on threads, then threads can just insert sponsored posts into their timeline that auto syndicates over to my account on Mastodon - So Threads can generate advertising posts on behalf of people and make them look like normal posts which will come across - Twitter essentially did this at one point & may still be doing it to fool people into reading ads

@Gargron The bigger concern would be that a Fediverse user might start getting ads on other platforms about honey, just because they follow someone on Threads and also follow beekeepers.ninja or simply post on Mastodon about bees.

But this is not just about ads. It is about data privacy and what Meta claims authority to do with data and content pulled from the Fediverse.

No, that is not a concern, because there is no capability for the fediverse user to get ads on other platforms connected to them in any way. It is also an extremely bog standard, matter of fact privacy policy. Ours does not look much different.

While it's true that every well-written social network pricacy policy does cover this kind of data, no it's not at all "absolutely the same thing".

Compare and contrast what Threads' privacy policy says they can do with this data to a privacy policy like @admin's and it's clear that Threads' privacy policy tries to give the company as much ability to use data without requesting additional consent (although EU DPC's may have something to say about it). Also, unlike every Mastodon server out there, Meta's business model relies on exploiting people's data -- and they have a long track record of using data without consent. It really isn't the same thing at all.

eupolicy.social/privacy-policy

Also you suggested elsewhere in this thread that "Personal data usually carries a slightly different meaning than a public profile and posts you choose to broadcast to the open web." In the EU, GDPR is very explicit that personal data includes publicly available data such as this.

“Put the fun between your legs!” named the worst brand slogan of 2023

The recent excitement surrounding Thread's arrival on the Fediverse is concerning. To understand why this is not a good idea, consider their economic interest in harvesting data, their poor moderation, and their manipulations. Nothing good can come from their federation. Don't roll out the red carpet for them.
