Very suspect behavior. That said, for anyone that ends up deleting threads because they object to Meta's business practices, their approach to privacy, etc... Keeping instagram would kind of defeat the purpose anyway.

I don't know, I only have an instagram account so I can open posts/pics that sometimes are linked on a blog or website, and to look at that one cat account I follow when I log in once in a blue moon. No post of my own, no phone app. I don't believe Meta knows a lot on me just via that. I wouldn't want to lose the account just because I refuse Threads' business model though.
