which states that they’ll gather all that pii if you interact with their content.
Your public account info and your public posts is not “PII”, it’s what’s necessary for every instance in the fediverse to work. How do you think people are going to see your name and your posts if their servers can’t access it?

sorry, I didn’t follow the legal definition of what’s PII in the comment.
with meta, just the IP address and one visit is enough to personally identify you though. they have testified before that they have profiles on users who haven’t signed up with any of their (dis)services at all.
and threads explicitly states in their privacy policy that they use pixels and web beacons, which they use for this purpose.
