Meta just announced that they are trying to integrate Threads with ActivityPub (Mastodon, Lemmy, etc.). We need to defederate them if we want to avoid them pushing their crap into fediverse.
If you’re a server admin, please defederate Meta’s domain “threads.net”
If you don’t run your own server, please ask your server admin to defederate “threads.net”.
sorry, I didn’t follow the legal definition of what’s PII in the comment.
with meta, just the IP address and one visit is enough to personally identify you though. they have testified before that they have profiles on users who haven’t signed up with any of their (dis)services at all.
and threads explicitly states in their privacy policy that they use pixels and web beacons, which they use for this purpose.
Yeah, but nothing about that changes when federating with them.
