Known ethical problems with MT:
- You can't delete your Threads account without deleting your Instagram account.[1]
- Meta has said that yes, they will be mining Threads user data as they do everywhere else. (Why wouldn't they?)
- They seem to be systematically doxxing their users.
- They seem to be entirely tolerant of intolerance:
- Threads apparently considers it okay to call LGBTQ+ people "groomers".
- Anti-LGBTQ+ accounts which Threads is allowing include:
- "Libs of TikTok", a group which promotes right-wing views by straw-manning the center-left
- "Gays Against Groomers" [1]
- PragerU (Dennis Prager; see RationalWiki)
- There are apparently issues with accessibility, and deep-seated denial of those issues. [2] (h/t)
- Apparently there is no way to add descriptions to images. (There are presumably other issues; this is just the one I currently know about.)
Observers [3] have also spotted Gary Vaynerchuk (GaryVee), noted grifter, talking directly with Zuckerberg; I remember that name but can't quickly find confirmation of how he is problematic. Some preliminary links:
- 2022-06-22 Connecting the Manosphere (video, 1:49:44, FD Signifier) (I have not watched this)
- 2022-04-06 How GaryVee manipulates you. (video, 1:19:48, ThoughtSlime): recommended
- 2016-06-22 Gary Vaynerchuk Apologizes For Outrageously Sexist Party Invitation
