It's crazy how many people will just click accept on security warning them that an app will access literally everything on their phone.
It's also crazy how many people don't even know that Threads is Meta... where the f have these people been for the past 10 years?
They've been giving away their data for all that time and it hasn't visible affected them negatively.
Of course it will eventually and they'll Pikachu face then but that's hardly comforting.
Will it? Why? It won't affect most people personally ever, hence why most people don't really care.
I fear you are right. While I do believe that further policital abuse of that data is inevitable (Trump or the Malaysian civil war were at least partial results of campaigns of Cambridge Analytica, for example), people probably won't see the impact data analysis had and how they've been manipulated.
