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."

how else would facebook live and such work?
i mean some of these makes sense
but its also a question of ... does the app use all these things, all the time?
do we know?
On my mac i have to allow discord to record my voice etc. if i dont, i can still use the app but i cant talk in a voice call, and such.
i'd like if apps did similar, on phones. they'd work but some functions would just be unavailable
Both Android and iPhones let you do this last I checked
