The Zuck suck is in full swing.

In the few short hours since I started using #Threads, #DuckDuckGo has already blocked over 200 data tracking attempts. These include things like "headphone status" and "screen density."
wtf do they even need charging status, headphone status, volume, direction rotation accelerometer wtf
They coded for "everything they can get" and just figure they'll use it all eventually. Must be a GDPR nightmare for them, if they even honor it vs. just not being caught doing bad actor things.
It's not currently available in the EU I believe.
They likely coded it all in quickly in a messy fashion that they didn't think about ways to disable any of the tracking in the EU and that's why is not available there at launch. While Meta has plenty of software engineers to get jobs like this done the speed they supposedly went to get it done(Being start in January launch in July) likely means things got rushed as it supposedly wasn't planned to launch till later this year but with twitter imploding Meta wants to get as much of the existing marketshare moved over quickly with instagram being the perfect way to make moving seem easy.
