So, I guess Threads is officially spyware... Not at all shocked, but, Jesus that's a lot of data they're wanting.

Pfffft. What's the drama? So you create a new insta account with no info and then pop it to Threads. They get nothing and you still get to see what's what.
Are you really so thick to think that your workaround solves the problem?
Yeah, that doesn't actually work that way at all.
These are app permissions for the Threads app; so the app itself will collected all of the personal information from your phone that it possibly can and send it to Facebook regardless of how you limit the amount of data you choose to share with Instagram. The only way to get around this and still use the app would be to use a clean phone and never use it for anything that may generate or collect personal data.
