Meta Threads/issues

Known ethical problems with MT:

• You can't delete your Threads account without deleting your Instagram account.
• 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)

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:
