I mean yeah, it's a closed source app. The most that could possibly be collected is your IP alongside browsing habits. Your ISP already does that and definitely doesn't care who gets it, so anyone who is concerned already uses a VPN.

You can collect a helluvalot more than that. Take a look at Threads’ permissions. You can collect just heaps of user data if you’d like.

Agreed, certainly possible, but I haven't personally granted Sync permissions to anything except notifications.
