What does that even mean? Sensitive data? Other data could include basically anything anyway.

That seems overly permissive...

L Oh Fucking L. Horrifying that people will just give all this information to a company that already has class action lawsuits against it for data mishandling, without even giving it a second thought. People are dumb.

Meanwhile, thunder: can I please have storage access so I can save images?

[–] ImperialATAT@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

That seems reasonable. I think I’ll throw in my social security number and DNA sample for good measure… just in case they need it.

I bet they r just being lazy and can get away with it. Wasn't going to use it anyway.

[–] BlueDepth9279@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Seems a bit excessive.

[–] TheProtagonist@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yea, well, it‘s Meta, so what would you expect…

[–] WhoRoger@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yay, another sword to fall onto.

Seriously, I'm curious how it goes. Meta can pour an insane amount of money into this, but that didn't work for the Metaverse. People already use IG as a Twitter replacement anyway, and Twitter itself just left a lot of people in a bad taste in their mouth.

So I would predict this doesn't have much of a place anywhere, but who knows.
