Amidst beauty, shadows may loom, Zucc's empire, where darkness consumes. But we navigate, in this digital spree, Words set minds free, embracing connectivity.

It's interesting to look at the app privacy compared to the Twitter app privacy in the App Store. It looks like Threads just just getting everything and Twitter is at least trying to limit access.

Twitter

- Data Used to Track You: Purchases, Contact info, Browsing History, Usage Data, Location, User Content, identifier

- Data Linked to You: Purchases, Contact Info, User Content, Browsing History, Usage Data, Location, Contacts, Search History, Identifiers, Diagnostics

- Data Not Linked to You: Contact Info, User Content, Other Data

Threads

- Data Linked to You: Health & Fitness, Financial Info, Contact Info, User Content, Browsing History, Usage Data, Diagnostics, Purchases, Location, Contacts, Search History, Identifiers, Sensitive Info, Other Data

Twitter has a functional website though, and you can do a lot more to block trackers there.
Internet words set minds free

To connect and create

And forge new joint identity

Built on love or hate.

Frightened hominids we are,

Succumbing easily to the latter

While false tech prophets from afar

Reap the fruit of our fervent chatter.

- Written by flesh and blood

That was beautiful
