Yikes.
Sad that it’s even allowed. And how many people will “agree” to this without thinking twice about what it means.

Defed the Thread.
I cant believe apps tracking user data this much can even be allowed on app stores

It's a perfectly named app. They're pulling on the thread of privacy protection until it's all undone.
Nope the fuck out of there
Holy shit! That’s terrifying, especially from a company like Facebook
Yeah I'm gonna say no thanks.
Twitter has the same amount of required permissions tho. Of course it collects a lot more data than any fediverse application or site but for proprietary software its about average

Thanks but no thanks
To play devils advocate, is it possible these permissions are just placeholders until the app is actually released?

So, all that isn't even enough, "other info" is needed too? This honestly will just get every single thing they can get of ya.
Is the app out already? Or is this just the App Privacy dashboard for Instagram??

I wonder if this will change the current ToS for Facebook and regular IG
Hmm no.
