    That's a lot of data people never consider when thinking about this stuff and it's important.

    Your posts are what you choose to share, the rest of that data is not and can give a very detailed overview of your life

    This also ignores the MASSIVE vulnerability from FB/Twitter apps.

    Apps mean not only are you giving those companies your posts, but also your call logs, possibly SMS data, details of all the other apps on your phone, phone number, contact details, usage data, full social graph, detailed location data, ability to read phone storage, microphone access, access to your calendar, activity recognition (are you walking, driving etc), view network connections, etc etc

    Hey here's something about the Fediverse that some people don't take into account:

    I see on "hacker" "news" that there is currently discussion about Scuttlebutt and the very clever opinion is that oh no, distributed social is worse than FB/Twitter because nothing is stopping BigScaryCorp from scooping up all your public posts.

    Ignoring the fact that you can very easily have a locked account or even one that has public AND non-public posts... 1/

    Gmail enters the "extend" phase of Embrace, Extend, Extinguish by creating new proprietary features for email then forcing non-gmail users the view the mail through a link with Google Login (and sometimes SMS confirmation!)
