I cant believe apps tracking user data this much can even be allowed on app stores
It's a perfectly named app. They're pulling on the thread of privacy protection until it's all undone.

So, all that isn't even enough, "other info" is needed too? This honestly will just get every single thing they can get of ya.
Twitter has the same amount of required permissions tho. Of course it collects a lot more data than any fediverse application or site but for proprietary software its about average

Holy shit! That’s terrifying, especially from a company like Facebook
Seriously I am already struggling to get meta out of my life enough to sign in to a new service with them.
I'm asking myself how people can accept these conditions. There is a huge work of education on privacy to be done.
There should be some sort of OS-level flag that appears before downloading to inform users along the lines of "This application requests access to more permissions than typical apps in this category do. Are you sure you wish to proceed?" Maybe with a link to an informational site about how apps can use your data and why protecting your privacy is important.

Anyone know Meta's track record with data?
It's got to be great if they ask for all this /s
Let's not forget that they were fined $5 billion for deliberately misleading users about how their personal data was used in regard to the Cambridge Analytica scandal that effectively swayed over 200 elections all over the world, including both Brexit and Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.
Seriously, everyone seems to have forgotten about that shit and it's fucking insane.
