So, I guess Threads is officially spyware... Not at all shocked, but, Jesus that's a lot of data they're wanting. (media.kbin.social)

I had not heard of that new shit. Randomnly went to theverge, and and saw they are forcefeeding this new Threads to everyone as the “top articles”. Almost 100K posts already, 35millions accounts activated. People just don’t learn.

I wouldn't say it's force-feeding for a news site to report on the highly successful launch of a new social network by one of the largest tech companies in the world that's also directly aiming to compete with a platform owned by a very controversial and frankly entertaining megalomaniac.

If anything, I'd say they're a poor news organization if they didn't cover it.
