"Last week, the text-based social media platform reported a record 100 million sign-ups in just five days."
LOL The biggest bullshit of the year... Meta just created shadow accounts of all Instagram users, without their knowledge or consent...
Is there a way to check if a user account exists for my instagram account without logging in?
people reported already having followers before ever using the platform, meaning all people automatically had an account created for them. that (and many other things) is also very legally problematic in the EU which is why the service isnt available here.
Sole benefit of Brexit identified. We get to hand over our data to meta before you guys. It’s all been worth it.
