The Globe and Mail reports in its Monday edition that Meta's new social-media platform Threads is gobbling up massive amounts of sensitive data on its 100 million users and counting. A Canadian Press dispatch to The Globe reports that the specificity and quantity of information the platform can access poses a risk to most users, if it falls into the wrong hands or is used to target them. Protexxa founder Claudette McGowan says, "This is a hacker's dream." Ms. McGowan says, "The more data you have sitting in a certain position [or] spot is going to get people really, really excited about getting access to it and being very creative about it." Threads falls under Meta's wider privacy policy that covers its other social-media platforms, Facebook and Instagram. That policy details how Meta captures everything from the information you give it when you sign up for accounts, to what you click on or like, the people you be friend on-line and what kind of phone, computer or tablet you use to access its products. It also keeps tabs on what you are doing on your device, such as whether the app is in the foreground or if your mouse is moving, messages you send and receive and details on purchases you make.
