Not that the social media corps have ever given a shit.
Very much not true.
The app Threads from Meta had to be rewritten due to its extensive tracking in the US market. Not legal in the EU.
truly rewritten or just, marginalized the tracking features elsewhere. For example, did they just add in a bunch of 'gotcha' bullshit;
"by clicking continue you agree to..."
"looks like you were trying to post on threads, agree to this statement to continue"
Zuck and co' knew well in advance the EU laws, but they made threads as they did and EU was like 'nah, change it.?'
Sounds more like zuck added in 300% tracking features and EU was satisfied when it got 'dialed' down back to 100% tracking features.
i don't use threads or tik tok or facebook so it's more of a tin foil hat opinion
They give a shit when they start getting fined based on a % of their revenue
When it’s a percent of the revenue, it’s just the cost of doing business.
