I'm doing a thought experiment and need some feedback. I have technical questions about and privacy. I've been online since the ‘90s.

Besides being outraged by this list, including "Other Data” -- how exactly would Threads extract this information?

While there are a number of sneaky ways (e.g., third-party cookies) to track me in a browser, I'm curious as to how Threads actually collects this data technically, especially on a mobile OS.
