sorry, I didn’t follow the legal definition of what’s PII in the comment.
with meta, just the IP address and one visit is enough to personally identify you though. they have testified before that they have profiles on users who haven’t signed up with any of their (dis)services at all.
and threads explicitly states in their privacy policy that they use pixels and web beacons, which they use for this purpose.
yeah, but I didn’t want more brain damage sifting through accounts over there lol. but still, when you have a 100 million mau, there are going to be a ton of bots, especially when there are next to no moderators.
