    @BrikoX I am curious, if Threads enters the ActivityPub sphere like it has stated, will Facebook be able to scrape user data info from non-threads users somehow? We know MetaZuck doesn’t respect online privacy. I don’t know a ton about how ActivityPub works.

      They can scrape it now. Everything is publically available. But this data is not that valuable for them compareted to someone installing Threads, Instagram or Facebook app that has pretty much full access to your phone all it’s activities and information.

      The bigger issue is that when they join ActivityPub, they will take advantage of existing content we generated and add their ads on that content for Threads users.
