@meercat0@mastodon.social @clifff@shakedown.social I might be wrong, but I think that's just caution not to omitt any categories of data. Some of those are data that *might* be handled by meta. For example b/c you put them in your bio (race, sexual orientation) or post about them. They'll have your financial info if you use paid services.

@indri@masto.ai @meercat0@mastodon.social @clifff@shakedown.social Usually that sort of thing means you're giving them permission for that API. For instance, for Location, if you tell the app "no" then they can't collect it. iOS just doesn't give them that info. And those categories *look* like they'd be iOS API calls. Android is similar but different, but with fewer permissions - an Android app can more often just get your data without asking, though not in every case.
