The amount of data this app collects actually makes my stomach churn. Jesus christ.

Holy crap, that's bad. They certainly need to make it one behemoth app for all these permissions to be legit. But otherwise, why do they think people want to use Threads so bad that they agree to use all this. (apparently already 10 million people, if these numbers are legit and not bloated due to link with instagram).

They're just banking on the fact that a ton of people either don't know that all their data is being collected or (even worse) don't care that this is the case.
