How Threads’ privacy policy compares to Twitter’s (and its rivals’)

Reply in thread

I feel like this person doesn’t know how iOS works. Android users may have more control, but iOS users will be told up front when something is requesting their data (I believe this happens on android too?). For example, things like health data. Threads can not gain access to the Health app on iOS without the Health app popping up in threads and saying “Threads wants to access this data: Heart rate, weight, etc” and you can toggle things on and off. But Threads doesn’t do that. The stuff they put in their privacy policy doesn’t mean they are actually able to access parts of your phone unknowingly, it’s there because if you wrote any of your personal data on threads, Instagram, Facebook, or message anyone with that information, they are saying “hey, we reserve the right to tack that info onto your digital profile so we can serve you accurate ads and make us more money”.

Top 10 Domestic Box Office 2023 (July 27)

Reply in thread

It means that's how much a movie has made domestically compared to it's domestic opening weekend. The bigger the multiplier, the better "legs" a movie has, and generally means audiences really liked it but didn't necessarily rush out to see it (really depends on the movie). Basically it means that it continued to make a good amount of money for a long time.

So if you take Ant-Man Quantumania's domestic total which is $214,504,909, and divide it by it's opening weekend $106,109,650, you get 2.021 which rounded down is 2x. I hope this helps :)

August 4 - 6, 2023 - Weekend Estimates (Sunday AM)

Reply in thread

The movie itself is not Qanon, but the lead star is vocally Qanon. It's also glorifying a real person who is outspokenly Qanon, and the events of the film aren't really close to reality, as far as anyone can tell.

That being said, I personally don't have a problem with the film itself, it just didn't interest me.

Weekend Actuals: July 7-9, 2023

Decided to add the weekend number that a movie was on, as well as the drop from the previous week (where applicable), as well as add the worldwide totals below the domestic totals. Let me know if you like this added data, or think it's too much, or whatever you think!
