Sad that it’s even allowed. And how many people will “agree” to this without thinking twice about what it means.

To play devils advocate, is it possible these permissions are just placeholders until the app is actually released?

Defed the Thread.

It's a perfectly named app. They're pulling on the thread of privacy protection until it's all undone.

I cant believe apps tracking user data this much can even be allowed on app stores

The unfortunate bit is that most people still on Instagram/FB won't care and will happily use it.

Is the app out already? Or is this just the App Privacy dashboard for Instagram??

I'm also confused what I'm looking at.

Is this real, or a meme? What is "sensitive info"?

It's for the new app. It's on preview on the app store

Thanks but no thanks

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Holy shit! That’s terrifying, especially from a company like Facebook

So, all that isn't even enough, "other info" is needed too? This honestly will just get every single thing they can get of ya.
