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.

      Some, like location can be blocked and same for health & fitness. You can also tell iOS to not allow an app to track you but I don’t think that blocks everything. But say you allow access to “all photos” that means they can parse the exif data from all your photos and have map of everywhere they were taken.

        This is nuts. Why would anyone let this through knowingly? I fight so hard to at least make as hard as possible for these assholes to collect info on me. People just this shit and agree to all of that without batting an eye.
