It's interesting to look at the app privacy compared to the Twitter app privacy in the App Store. It looks like Threads just just getting everything and Twitter is at least trying to limit access.

Twitter

- Data Linked to You: Purchases, Contact Info, User Content, Browsing History, Usage Data, Location, Contacts, Search History, Identifiers, Diagnostics

Threads

- Data Linked to You: Health & Fitness, Financial Info, Contact Info, User Content, Browsing History, Usage Data, Diagnostics, Purchases, Location, Contacts, Search History, Identifiers, Sensitive Info, Other Data



Twitter has a functional website though, and you can do a lot more to block trackers there.
