It’s not hard to understand what was happening.

  • I follow Person A and Person A follows me on Instagram
  • Person A signs up for Threads before me
  • I sign up for Threads after
  • Because we already follow each other on Instagram, Threads automatically made Person A follow me

The issue with the EU is you can’t mingle and mix user data from two separate services.
