Threads will be a meta answer on twitter. This new social network should arrive within days, ushering in a new era in this field. After its disclosure, the first question seems to have arisen. Complaints about the amount of data being collected are growing, but there seems to be something many have overlooked. We talk about competition and what they bring together.
There are many proposals that seem to be trying to win the space that Twitter is missing. More and more users have decided to leave Elon Musk's network and soon it looks like they'll have a new alternative, created by Meta, Thread.
This proposal has been in the news in recent days, and yesterday it took another decisive step towards becoming a reality within everyone's reach. The point is that the threads have already begun to be evaluated, according to the information found Available in the software store from Apple.
It was Jack Dorsey himself, one of the co-creators of Twitter, who came forward to reveal the long list of permissions and data the subjects had collected. From what can be seen, there are 14 categories covered which will feed user information to Meta systems.
This group covers areas that seem inconsequential for a social network and which actually raise questions for users. They question the real need to collect this data, if users can control it.
Even more curious, the collection of this volume of data does not appear to be limited to threads. In response to Jack Dorsey's post, many users on Twitter pointed to the fact that Elon Musk's social network now has the same information to collect.
Themes is expected to be introduced to the public on July 6th, possibly on a limited basis and only in the United States. Later, Meta will certainly expand its offer to more markets and to many more users, who will certainly want to leave Twitter to experience this novelty.
