The accounts aren't separate.
Who has an Instagram account, already has a thread account already. It's the same account. You can delete info on it, but of course deleting one of them will delete both, because it's only one.
It's like saying "deleting my OneDrive account will delete my Microsoft account too, is so unfair"
Poor analogy. I can deprovision OneDrive (or any other M365 app) for any user while keeping all their other services intact. Meta obviously doesn't want that scenario.
they offer to disable thread too. Delete content + disable = deprovision.
If someone wants to be completely wiped from their database, of course they need to delete the whole account
I guess my point was, there no such thing as a "OneDrive account", but your point is that the same applies to Meta. We agree!
