     @aral we should be worried if Eugen is still not making a strong position against this and thus being ambiguous with the problem...

     @powersource @aral At least one of the accused instance owners joined the alliance to block Meta shortly after and they denied the accusations, furthermore I wasn't able to find a proper source for the claim itself. I don't know for sure but I am quite sure it is fake and if it's not I am happy to read the source but we as community have to be more careful with claims like that in general!

     @aral These permissions are the same as for Instagram, Thread uses the same backend, I guess?

     @peroksid Yes, they’re both running on surveillance capitalism.
