Does that matter? Facebook, Insta and Threads are all owned by the same company.

Why shouldn't they merge them all together? Gmail sends appointments, flights, etc to Google Calendar. Should I be outraged by that too?

If you're still oversharing on Facebook at this point, you know what you're getting into. Even those that post that nonsense "I do NOT give Facebook permission" spam that highlights everyone vulnerable to other scams.
