• Meta’s new Threads app is closely linked to Instagram, so much so that you can’t delete your Threads profile without deleting your Instagram account.

  • This is mentioned clearly in Meta’s supplemental privacy policy, which many new Threads users failed to read in full.

    Yup. Remember this when they tout how threads “already has millions of users”. They’re all zombie accounts.

      That’s not true. Instagram has 1.6bn users and all can use their Instagram logins to sign in to Threads. The roughly 1% who have signed up already have chosen to activate Threads, it’s not done automatically.

      I wonder if investors and advertisers will also realize this.

        They probably will realise that 10 million is less than 1% of 1.6bn and that they can safely ignore people making shit up.
