It's time to address the elephant in the room, or actually Threads
As many of you may know Threads went live in Europe and with that they started testing federation with the Fediverse
At this point there is a choice to make
1. Block Threads on instance level, that will take away the choice for each person
2. Do not block and let people block if they want to(1 search and 2 clicks)
After much consideration and talks I think we need to go with option 2 and let people decide for themselves
IMPORTANT. Threads stated policy is to collect and exploit Fediverse user personal data without explicit consent.
Now is a very good time to review Threads Terms of Use (https://terms.threads.com/terms-of-use) and Supplemental Privacy Policy (https://help.instagram.com/515230437301944).
Note just by following a Threads user or replying to a post, Meta claims they are entitled to your personal data.
And what do they say they will do with your data? Provide you with "business services (including ads)."

Na het toeslagenschandaal kreeg de Belastingdienst het advies om drie mogelijk discriminerende fraude-algoritmen onmiddellijk stop te zetten. Toch besloot de fiscus ermee door te gaan: het organisatiebelang woog zwaarder dan overtreding van de wet en bescherming van grondrechten. Dat blijkt uit documenten die twee jaar nadat om openbaring was verzocht aan Follow the Money zijn vrijgegeven. ‘Onbegrijpelijk en verbijsterend.’ https://www.ftm.nl/artikelen/belastingdienst-bleef-wet-overtreden-met-omstreden-fraude-algoritmen
Male, 56 yrs old guy (married) from Amsterdam, Europe. CEO of the coffee machine. No education, no purpose, no money, no self esteem. Just breathing through live, lifting weights and drinking coffee, eventually ending up in the oven. All bias towards me is completely justified and I don't care.
