My favorite was that the deal was where Facebook agreed not to import IG into FB. They have merged the two together so much so that if Facebook has a complete outage, so does IG. Not only that, but Facebook "magically" knows when I'm on IG and vice versa.
- alex1138 2y agoAlso I think if you sign up for Instagram you get Threads lol Nice account you got there, would be a shame if you deleted Threads and also deletes your Insta
- soco 2y agoBut on my Android I got no Threads. True, IG tries their best to convince me to install it. Maybe I don't have it because my IG was created before times?

- tialaramex 2y agoOh yeah, lots of "First Time?" meme opportunities during acquisition.

As a regulator, "running on the same infrastructure" would be the least of my worries and an acceptable carve-out for a "no integration" clause.
- zelphirkalt 2y agoRunning on separate infrastructure makes it a lot easier to confirm for an auditor, that data is not being merged or used in combination though.
- notyourwork 2y agoAnd now I’ve noticed threads permeate IG to cross-pollinate.
