    Why do people forget that Meta is primarily an advertisement company. Each and every one of their platforms is made purely for data harvesting. Of course it would be sanitised for the advertisers.

    Also it’s an half baked app which was made in a hurry and it’s just opportunistic.

        But fucking hell I’m actually surprised on how brain dead people are. Most of my acquaintances have an iPhone. If you scroll down, the App Privacy section is atrocious. How can users not think about why the fuck would a half baked Twitter clone require your sleep schedule.

            The Privacy section on iPhone is not about permissions though. Permissions for things like notifications/health/etc are separate and can be denied.

            The privacy section is about “regardless of phone permissions, the company has to declare that they collect this data themselves in their own system”. Like ie, the threads app might collect its own data about your sleep schedule because they see you get on sometimes at 7am, and again at 11pm, so you probably sleep between those times roughly.
