In the few short hours since I started using #Threads, #DuckDuckGo has already blocked over 200 data tracking attempts. These include things like “headphone status” and “screen density.”

    Yeah, screen density or screen resolution is fairly common to track specifically because it’s useful for sorting out UI problems.

    “People with 1080p phones use the app once and never come back” is useful information from a product development standpoint. It’s not super useful for most user profiling purposes.

    Unless you’re selling cell phone ads, that is. And, well, Meta’s an ad company.
