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.”

    From what I’ve heard the number gets so high because duckduck blocks the app from gathering data. The apps keep pushing requests since they’re not getting any response. In reality the non-blocked requests are less frequent. Don’t quote me on this, just a thing I read on reddit.

    But yeah I have duckduck as well and it freaks me the F out seeing what apps are trying to gather. It’s sickening.
