@Tim Chambers @Johannes Ernst They won't.
Extracting data from #Facebook by third-party apps has been forbidden since 2011, since not long after #Friendica one-sidedly and without Facebook's consent established bidirectional federation with Facebook.
Why should #Meta allow free, decentralised social networking projects to extract any data from #P92 a.k.a. #Barcelona a.k.a. #Threads then, and be it by users manually exporting this data first? It'd be direct competition siphoning off data, just like back in 2011 when Facebook faced direct competition in the shape of Friendica which was designed with the intent purpose of being a Facebook alternative. Not to mention that the Facebook connector was designed with the intent purpose of siphoning users off Facebook and into Friendica.
Oh, and if they let their users export their Threads data, there's no way they can create a technical barrier that only allows an import to #Mastodon. Many other #Fediverse projects could create importers for the same data. #Pixelfed, for example, which directly competes with #Instagram where a lot of this data will probably come from originally. Or, again, Friendica which still directly competes with Facebook.
