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.
You must log in or register to comment.
If that were the case though, wouldn’t the number of Threads users be the exact same as the current number of Instagram users?
No because they’re only doing this for Instagram users who are located in the United States. It hasn’t launched anywhere else yet.
Probably because it will be quite illegal in Europe so they probably are not going to do it for European users but it hasn’t launched there yet anyway so we don’t know.
Why would this be illegal in Europe ?
It’s available in the UK as well. They don’t follow EU privacy laws.
