A company spokesperson said: “The images shared do not violate our policies and are back-to-school photos posted publicly by parents. We have systems in place to help make sure we don’t recommend Threads shared by teens, or that go against our recommendation guidelines, and users can control whether Meta suggests their public posts on Instagram.”

They don’t even try to apologize or show remorse.

They don’t even acknowledge that it is a problem.

Zucc is a stain on humanity. I don't remember the exact number, but millenials have approximately 5% of the US wealth, and zucc has 2% of that wealth alone Something's going to break soon.
