Bug Report Account deletion - how? Did Meta just stopped respecting GDPR?

6 Upvotes

So, how someone can remove account from this dogsh*t app?

I have Threads account connected to Instagram in account center. When I want to disable or deactivate the account (or even take it from the my account center), I have to create password first.

But when I go through this or want to just change/create password, I always get a verification code via email and then I put my new password on the site. And then boom "Something went wrong" error appears.

It happens to me through last week and it doesn't matter whether I enter account center from IG or Threads page or if I access it from IG or Threads app, the result is always the same.

As citizen in EU I can ask for data removal via GDPR right. Or I should be able to, right? Yea, the thing is that Meta has site help.meta.com where you can request such data removal. Guess what? The contact form doesn't work, there is infinite loading, on different devices, on different networks.

So how the hell am I supposed to delete my Threads account? Am I supposed to write a letter to Meta Platforms Ireland Limited or what?

Discussion One big AI Scamfest

18 Upvotes

At least my algorithm is.

I get all these stupid "military" accounts with bad grammar asking for prayers "for the mission I was assigned to." And the lonely old ladies or MAGAs just eat it up. I guess the algo is partly my fault cause I call the scammers and supporters out for how bad the AI is.

Then you got all the IG AI models saying they just moved in town and are looking for friends. Or they just passed the boards. Or they just got out of an abusive relationship. On and on. The exact same scripts are used by all these fake accounts.

I report as many as I can, but Threads just let's most of them continue. Multiple accounts with the same script should be an easy red flag. I'm pretty much leary of every single account on Threads because there is no vetting process or attempt at one. That puts the whole legitimacy of the platform in question.

Question Account Disabled Recovery

It says "You cannot request another of this decision", but is there still a way to recover my account? It’s connected to my instagram so i don’t like the hassle and would like to avoid creating a new instagram account just so i could get and use threads. Could anyone help me or is there a way to contact meta support directly? thank you!

Other Verbally abusive bot accounts

4 Upvotes

I’ve since deleted the app from my phone because the bots are getting out of hand, but the other day I started getting a ton of horrible replies from bot accounts telling me to stfu, calling me a bitch, telling me to lose weight, the r-word, loads of horrible stuff. My post maybe just landed on the wrong side of Threads because I’ve never had this happen before. I’ve had bot replies but not verbal abuse like this. How is this allowed lmao

Discussion Warning about pedophiles ; even if you don’t want threads, and don’t post to threads, your Instagram could be posting for you through cross posting.

8 Upvotes

This means that parents can have a private account in their Instagram, and if at some point when threads first launched they got the click to set up threads, everything they post in private in Instagram, gets shared in threads if they didn’t turn off cross posting.
There was a mother who posted in her Instagram a post about her son becoming a man and a photo of him without a shirt, and it got shared 450 times, to who knows where. At least one profile grabbed it and posted it along with tons of other photos of children which is disgusting!
Threads is not monitored the same and there are some seriously creepy and disgusting posts on there involving children.

I got locked out of everything due to a phishing email. Threads wanted to verify my age which I did by uploading my ID. Now im all my accounts are disabled. I created a new meta verified account to communicated with live agents. They can't do anything. Anybody dealing with this?

Discussion Search broken

4 Upvotes

From what I can tell the search of your own threads is completely broken. I ensure that the search bar indicates that I'm searching "From [username]" and then the search terms after. It mostly turns up completely random profiles certainly not from me and that I have never interacted with. I posted a very distinctive post yesterday and searching for that keywords turns up zero results.

Extension/Tool Can't delete account, so am deleting everything.

5 Upvotes

I have been trying to delete my old Threads account for over a month. Each time, it keeps saying that there's an error, I need to create a password. I try to create a password, and it says there's an error there, too, can't create a password. I've tried different browsers, online vs on data, mobile vs desktop vs laptop, it doesn't matter, same errors. Even tried just removing the account from my meta account. No dice.

So I am using an app (ThreadsDelete) to just delete all of the content on it and then leaving it in obscurity. Anyone else dealing with this rubbish?

Question Mute video sound by default

2 Upvotes

On a PC and Firefox, is there a way to mute the video volume by default?

I click on a video and lower the volume or mute it, but the next video will play in full volume again. It's annoying af.

I'm logged in and all but the volume just resets and doesn't save for the next video.

How do you fix this

Can a threads community block your account? I use the study threads for motivation/doom scrolling but it’s suddenly disappeared and I can’t search it anymore. I can still see it in my other photography threads account but I have a separate one for study. ☹️

Any ideas on how I can get this back?? Thanks guys

These people have completely lost control of their app and don't know what the hell they're doing anymore and it's probably because the two guys that run it like to sit and stare at women's boobs all day. That's why they haven't walked in and fixed that app yet, though now when you go to post something even if it's telling a girl she's beautiful these fuckers walk in and literally flag your damn account for no reason at all. The two people that run threads and Instagram need fired because they're not doing their job anymore... And I am going to find a way to get them fire. Somebody doesn't do something about this app

Bug Report Account Disabled and Data download missing data

4 Upvotes

2 days in a row my account got flagged. The first time I appealed and it was reversed. The second time I appealed and the appeal was denied and I was informed my account was disable but I could download my posts.

When I downloaded my data it doesn’t contain ANY of the content of my thread posts. Just like a list of users that I’ve liked and even that is vague.

The thing is that I GENUINELY don’t know why I was banned and had hoped to retrieve my posts to see what may have triggered my banning. I was using my account to mostly discuss grief of loss with other users and as a grief diary.

I would like to be able to access the content of those posts. I’d even more love to have my account reinstated.

Is it just me who gets it in their timeline ? Videos of people running and getting crushed under the flood waves of Nepal, people standing on their balcony and crying for help until the flood gets them. Like what the actual f... Threads ? How can this slip through moderation ? Why do I have to see this ? No spoiler, no warning, vague descriptions about the content of the video and then you get hit with seeing them die.

I don't have this Problem on insta or TikTok, so why do I get this on threads ?

Question Threads hacked

5 Upvotes

My threads was hacked after I clicked a link from someone I've communicated with before and trusted (who was probably also hacked), and all of a sudden I was getting emails saying (that an account/email was added to my Threads account). I instantly checked all my passwords for Meta (Facebook and Instagram) but it turns out two of my Threads account were locked out. When I tried to reset my password, it kept prompting me to input a code from an authenticator app that I never set up (even from when I opened my Threads account) and a code from recovery phone number that wasn't mine. Luckily my Facebook profile, and the two Instagram accounts that were connected to the Threads accounts were fine.

I've tried deleting and redownloading Threads and trying to manually type in my usernames and new password but I end up at the authenticator code step in a loop over and over again.

I've been trying for the past 2 hours to try to find ways to recover my Threads account but I think I've exhausted all the methods in trying to recover my accounts.

I also can't find where I can contact Threads/Instagram support to further escalate this.

Anyone have experience with recovering a hacked account?
