   Threads is the most blatant, desperate data-gathering spyware of the year and no one in the EU is affected, or will be affected any time soon, because their own elected officials passed a law that effectively bans it.

   Nice job! Have fun over there in the corporate panopticon.

     Hey, check out @gruber@mastodon.social and his latest hot take! It's no surprise that he's sharing his usual opinion.
     
     On the one hand, @gruber@mastodon.social strongly dislikes Meta and even compares them to a criminal organization. But on the other hand, when Meta actually faces regulations, he reacts like a little kid whose favorite toy got taken away.
     
     By the way, I personally think the only reason #Threads would consider adding #ActivityPub integration is because they're feeling pressure from EU regulations.
