Threads, Meta's new microblogging platform, is updating its terms to focus on data collection from "Third Party Users".

But remember, they intend to monetize this information by building it into your ad profile.

Oh noes, someone is making money out there off of something I did that I can’t actually make money off of myself.

I have no love for Facebook or any other big giant corporation, but IMO people have really become overly sensitive about this stuff. They think they can send me ads that are more relevant to me now that they’ve seen a few of my posts. That doesn’t harm me at all, I don’t see their ads regardless because I’ve got ad blockers up the wazoo.

Create a post

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
