    Who needs lobbying when you can just collect blackmail data on politicians because they willingly install your app?

      I doubt many national level politicians run their campaign accounts on their personal phones. In fact, I bet theres only one who does that.

      If the politicians are already using Facebook and/or Instagram apps, Meta already have all the blackmail data.

      I honestly think that the Pollies signing up are doing it as protest against Musk and Twitter. Ironically they just performed a self own by throwing their lot in with Musk.

      Since Threads will be federated, their Parties should be running their own instances.
