Threads' New Terms & Conditions Affects the Fediverse
wedistribute.org
Threads, Meta's new microblogging platform, is updating its terms to focus on data collection from "Third Party Users".

This shouldn’t come as a huge surprise. Meta is moving forward with their plans for Theads and the Fediverse, and their adjusted terms reflect a new impending reality for Fediverse users.

    But no real way to link that IP to the profile data they can scrape from any Lemmy site, I assume?

      Not directly no, but Meta has perfected the art of creating indirect profiles, so I would assume they can figure it out if they want. For example correlating the IP from image downloads to comments from profiles should relatively quickly tell them which Lemmy profile belongs to which IP.

        Yeah, this. If you comment on a few different image posts, they just have to look for the IP that is in all of those pools. It’s not that hard and this is basically metas bread and butter.
