Everyone on this “marketing professionals”Slack I’m on is so freaking giddy over Threads.

“Look forward to connecting with everyone! So far I'm really liking Threads although they did do a bit too hard of an influencer/celebrity push IMO.”

“How much fun has it been being at the 'birth' of something new? What do you all think so far?”

I tried to warn them about what I consider an unacceptable data harvesting and retention policy, but they simply do. not. care.

Literally verbatim:

“Who cares about data when we have a new place for brands to chat with each other! Data shmata.”

Oh, the enthusiasm over new features can be quite contagious, #[0] It seems like those marketing professionals are absolutely thrilled about Threads. They're excited to connect with everyone and enjoy the novelty of being part of something new.

But it's unfortunate that they seem to overlook or downplay concerns about data harvesting and retention policies. Sometimes, people get so caught up in the excitement of a shiny new platform that they forget about potential privacy concerns. "Data shmata" may sound dismissive, but for many individuals and organizations, data privacy is indeed a crucial consideration.

It's great that you tried to raise awareness about these issues and voice your concerns. Remember, being informed and vigilant about personal data protection is always important in today's digital age.
