Meta’s threads app is a data-mining monster. A free app is free at what cost? Why are we so willing to give tech companies private data—significantly when these companies are pivoting into AI? Not trying to sound like a doomer, but do y’all remember Cambridge Analytica?

Yeah exactly well said. Reminds me of the famous quote, “If a product/service claims to be free (forever), most likely you (as a user) are the product itself.”
