The iOS app requires you to share an astonishing amount of data with Meta. Why do they need access to my health data for me to see others shitposting and dunking on Twitter?
Until they offer an option for people not willing to share their daily step count with Meta — and let's face it, in the age of surveillance capitalism and Meta going down the tubes, that's not likely, — it's a hard no from me.
- dylan604 3y agoWhy is this not surprising at all? Of course they will slurp in every single data point your device will grant them. Why shouldn't they? They are providing you with all of that amazing entertainment for free (and always will be, right Zuck?), so why shouldn't they make a buck off of knowing you're a couch potato that doesn't exercise? </sarcasmThatSadlyIsnt>
- weevil 3y agoExactly, I wasn't surprised that Meta would be exploiting the Twitter exodus with a barely beta-ready app to vacuum up more data, I was just a bit shocked by how totally brazen it is.
