  see my sister comment: > Sure, facebook the app is all up in your junk. But the apple label about "it stealing your health data" is nonsense[1]. Why isn't there a permissions dialogue asking me to share my health data, like fitness apps? Does apple specifically allow Facebook apps to get at my health data unannounced? what about apple pay, is that leaking to facebook as well? [1] https://apps.apple.com/us/app/threads-an-instagram-app/id6446901002 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/threads-an-instagram-app/id644... As I said earlier, Tech companies are not reliable narrators. But, to underscore the point, if apple really are letting facebook harvest this data, surely this undermines their "privacy is our magic sauce" shtick? why are they letting them harvest that data? why, as a platform, are they letting them get away with it? Ideally the US would adopt GDPR like laws at a federal level, however thats not going to happen because there are too many tech billionaires.
