In some of the music communities I'm in the content creators are already telling their userbase to go follow them on threads. They're all talking about some kind of beef between Elon and Mark and the possibility of a boxing match... Mark was right to call the people he's leaching off of fucking idiots.

Most people just don't even realise despite everything that all of these huge corporations are tracking their every move and, of those that do, many do not see or simply refuse to acknowledge the dangerous implications of handing people like Mark and Elon what are, in many cases, essentially the keys to their personal lives.

I think this whole thread is missing an important point-its how these networks stay profitable. They're just trading the private info for using these things FOR FREE.

People are weird. I mean they're completely fine with random people at google knowing their exact location what they're doing and what websites they look at, but as soon as you start following them around in public they get all upset!

Seriously though, I'm guessing that an app just doesn't feel very 'threatening' somehow. It's just an appliance, in some sense. You don't care about the toilet seeing your private parts right?
