I fell for the hype and down loaded to see what it was about. I didn’t read that!! What does the financial info mean? What level of detail do they have access to? Like for credit score is that info on my phone or are they getting access to a credit card app? Stealing info while I’m logged into app?

I could be wrong but doesn’t the Facebook and Instagram app collect this same amount of information as well?

are a lot of these options not opt-in at the system level? on iOS at least. i know they can approximate a lot using ad tracking but not health info on the phone if you don’t allow it

On Android all permissions are disabled by default

Pretty much as expected. :)

Waiting for threads to be available through other ActivePub instances like mastodon. Being free from giants, yet having the possibility to access their content.

To be fair, I bet most apps probably track the same. But meta (probably for legal reasons) has to tell you about it.

Without asking for the permissions they might not get far though
