In the few short hours since I started using #Threads, #DuckDuckGo has already blocked over 200 data tracking attempts. These include things like “headphone status” and “screen density.”

    including voice

    how else would facebook live and such work?

    i mean some of these makes sense

    but its also a question of … does the app use all these things, all the time?

    do we know?

    On my mac i have to allow discord to record my voice etc. if i dont, i can still use the app but i cant talk in a voice call, and such.

    i’d like if apps did similar, on phones. they’d work but some functions would just be unavailable

        Actually, apps can check how many times other apps have been opened without any special permission. You can create a Work Profile with applications like Shelter and install all of these spyware there!
