Why is Apple at fault for what an ad-ridden article claims without evidence?
Seriously I could barely even find the claim you speak of, when every other sentence is punctuated by a half-screen advertisement.
Why accept the claims of such obvious click-bait without evidence? There's no reason to believe anything said in the article, particularly when it's claims can easily be checked and shown to be false.
And yet again, this is not data that is coming from your phone's store of health data.
This is data that is linked to you, and the spamminess of the ads on qz.com is likely doing far more invasion of people's privacy than Threads could even dream of.
This comment thread was about Threads taking health data "from your phone,"
Which is does not do, and which that sceeenshot does not say it does.
This sort of data linking is absolutely pervasive in the web advertising industry, and it is bad. But let's not falsely say it's coming from the store of data on your phone, it's coming from advertising networks like those that pay for qz.com's hosting bills and profits.
I think the ambiguous display of these things on the store, when few other apps show this, is cause for questions and concern. Everything you just said is equally speculative.
