Because fundamentally, people really don’t care about all that much. They want a simple social network that’s vaguely pleasant to use, has the people and content they’re looking for, and otherwise stays out of their way. They certainly don’t care about Musk’s random crusade du jour against the evil woke libs.

Nor do they particularly care about targeted advertising so long as it remains vaguely unobtrusive and their data isn’t constantly leaked in ways that directly harm them. Zuck, for all his many flaws, is smart enough to know that the single biggest thing he can do is to largely stay out of the way.

People are Lazy.

Because people just submit it. He doesn’t know why. They just trust him. Dumb Fucks.

You know the answer.

Whatever gives them their low quality tier content with the least friction no doubt

Well, they need to know your device rotation to serve you the perfect ads! /s
Seriously, I wouldn’t mind them knowing a thing or two about me, when I’m using their services. But tracking everything, just because they can, is just obnoxious. If you would translate this to the real world, you would definitely get arrested when you would stand on the corner of the street, noting down everything you see, every dimension/detail of every person walking by. You would be labeled “creep”. But if Facebook does it, governments go like: You can build your new data center right here, don’t mind the measly peasants that currently live in the village nearby

Stop giving them ideas

No but it needs access to your front camera so it can record your face before and after using threads. They want to see if their engagement algorithms made you mad so then they can tell it’s working

Does iOS block all that shit when you don’t allow that tracking pop up that iPhones have?

He can probably already predict it from other data with 99% accuracy

Damn duckduckgo app protection is great! I’d never heard about it, installed and turned on now. Good call-out, thank you.

I encourage others to look this up too!

The app does request permissions for financial info.

Yes how do you use dickdickgo to do this?

Yeah, kinda. The crowd that cares move to Mastodon, that crowd that chases moves to Threads.

Now, there is still value in Twitter as long as content creators and companies post there. When we see companies pull out and content creators en masse setting up shop somewhere else the end is coming. Huge communites that depend on being huge rarely if ever can return from a real downwards spiral.
