Threads attracts 30M users in 24 hours despite design flaws, privacy concerns | Ars Technica

Data collected by Threads can include users' sexual orientation, race and ethnicity, biometric data, trade union membership, pregnancy status, politics, and religious beliefs. Threads can also collect data on users' employment, as well as health and fitness. Beyond that, the app also can collect data monitoring users' location and other web activity.

Geez meta, do you want the results of my colonoscopy too? (spoiler: they do)
