    One mother said her account was set to private, but the posts were automatically cross-posting to Threads where they were visible.

      Oh, this might be some instagram/threads thing then, I know they share an account. I don’t use either of those services.

      I know on Facebook there’s these ads for threads and it’s putting random thread “stories” (I don’t know what they’re called) up on the timeline. So I thought they were doing a similar thing between all three services and not honouring the privacy setting.

      Still, just my personal opinion. If there’s automatic crossposting, the default really should be to use the more restrictive privacy setting for each service.
