Threads’ link to Instagram helped the platform grow fast: 100 million users signed up in less than a week, including Nazi supporters, anti-gay extremists, and white supremacists. Media Matters previously found that these right-wing users immediately tested the platform’s content moderation limits — which Meta claimed were consistent with Instagram’s community guidelines — and posted harmful rhetoric and misinformation. Meta has allowed much of this content to remain, seemingly carving out exceptions to Instagram’s policies and even backtracking when right-wing misinformers complained that users were getting warning labels before following them, claiming that it “was an error and shouldn’t have happened.”

    He doesn’t have to care that much about investors.

    Meta is structured that MZ will always have a controlling vote, most shares are non-voting and he owns more than 50% of the shares with voting rights. He cannot be removed by the board or shareholders. He can do whatever he wants.

    Meta stock is still down 25% since he blew billions on SecondLife2 that went nowhere.
