If it’s visible, you’re best assuming that Meta, Google, Amazon, the CIA, everyone, has a copy of it and are linking it all together behind the scenes.
At least this way they don’t get your IP address or linked advertising cookies. Here you’re just a username and whatever you post. Unless you browse and post directly on threads that is. Those guys get all their milkshake drunk.

Even if Meta doesn’t do it themselves there are likely hundreds of companies that do, and Meta can pay them for the data they want.
