In the few short hours since I started using #Threads, #DuckDuckGo has already blocked over 200 data tracking attempts. These include things like “headphone status” and “screen density.”

Trackers, trackers and ol’ Zucc’s roboface galore.

    Hi there, and thanks for trying Threads!

    While this may look alarming, it’s nothing to be concerned about. Sometimes “privacy” focused browsers and apps can be a little overzealous.

    We are taking our mandate to be a responsible member of the fediverse seriously, and part of that is building trust. We have no intention of abusing your data, nor the trust you place in us.

    Thanks for helping us blaze this trail together!
