Are you thinking about signing up for Meta’s latest social media platform, Threads? If you are, it’s important to listen to the experts, as many of them say that you should first do your research and consider what personal data and tracking permissions you are giving them.
In just a few days, Threads has managed to get more than 100 million users – nearly a quarter of Twitter’s audience base, breaking the record for a new social media company.
The Threads app is similar to Twitter and other text-based platforms in many ways, with the key difference being the fact that it integrates seamlessly with Instagram.
However, some data security experts believe that this could be risky for users from a data privacy and security standpoint because it involves merging a lot of data between platforms and that could mean more unintended data sharing and privacy breaches in the future.
Before you sign up for Threads, here are some key things to consider first:
Before you open a Thread account, make sure you check all the information about the platform so you can be sure that you feel comfortable sharing your private data.
Additionally, if you have a child or teenager, you should check the app’s privacy policies and consider how the child’s information will be stored and used.
