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+ groups 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]
Observers 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.
