In some of the music communities I'm in the content creators are already telling their userbase to go follow them on threads. They're all talking about some kind of beef between Elon and Mark and the possibility of a boxing match... Mark was right to call the people he's leaching off of fucking idiots.

It's because privacy is not a trivial matter, especially in those sites. You have to go through endless legal jargon to see how exactly the platform is using your data. Your average user has the attention span of a goldfish because of Tiktok, he/she would never read the platform's privacy policy and will prioritize convenience over digital rights.

You don't even need to read the privacy policy most often it's enough to look at the requested app permissions of the app you are installing.

Yes but those are only local permissions, they don't cover how they are tracking your app usage

It's all jargon by design. You won't use something that openly says they watch/listen to you shit.
