In the few short hours since I started using #Threads, #DuckDuckGo has already blocked over 200 data tracking attempts. These include things like “headphone status” and “screen density.”

    Idk, literally everyone I know has a Facebook page. They may not use it, buts it’s there almost like a listing in a phone book.

        Happened to me. Had a fake profile to test some apps and when they asked for an ID, I literally sent a pic of my MIDDLE FINGER. They accepted.

          Did you make sure to remove the EXIF metadata? It would be ironic if it has the image location coordinates in it.

      I know not a single one who has that. My wife uses WhatsApp and Instagram though.

      The phone book was not a big tech corporation, which is why it was a suitable place to have your phone number.

        It was owned by a big tech corporation, Ma Bell. And then it got broken up and there were just a bunch of smaller monopolies printing phone books.
