This might help explain the spectacular launch of Threads - eviltoast

Automatically creating a shadow account for everyone on Instagram?

Even allowing people to follow that account?

Sounds like they really wanted to push Threads out the door in a big way.

    It’s weird to not distrust Meta, if you can’t see that idk what to tell you. In 70 years when a company is using detailed data collected about you since you were 13 to market nostalgia it’ll be too late. Even if laws get implemented in the interum between now and then banning data harvesting, whatever data is collected today will still be on the market and you’ll be an even juicier target.
