@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.
As described in the document Supplemental Privacy Policy: help.instagram.com/51523043730…
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.
