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.

Is this not basically what google and Microsoft do with their stuff, minus the subscribe even though they aren't there yet bit? It's your meta account, regardless if you're using that particular feature?

It’s literally the same account you already have.

In other news, Facebook Messenger somehow knows I have a Facebook account!

Yet another example of meta being extra fucking creepy

Threads isn't "successful", they just happen to own the social graph. Why can't people see this?

Is this a reported news, or a speculation? Really curious, before I start going around, repeating it.

Been seeing that a lot around here. Pics or it didn't happen.

People are all too eager to believe stuff if it feeds into their preconceived ideas about these companies.

It’s funny how people continue to think that joining threads is optional.
