Threads, the messaging app from Instagram, is testing a new archiving feature that allows users to manually or automatically hide posts after a set period of time.

Kim Kardashian’s Instagram followers have witnessed a remarkable drop exceeding 100k following the release of Taylor Swift’s latest album and its diss track, ‘thanK you aIMee.’ The track, featuring capitalized letters spelling out ‘KIM,’ has fueled speculation about its target, reigniting the feud between the two celebrities from 2016.
An investigation by journalist Emanuel Maiberg has uncovered that Instagram has been profiting from multiple ads that explicitly invite users to create nonconsensual deepfake nudes with AI apps. One such ad featured a picture of Kim Kardashian with text that read, “Undress any girl for free. Try It.” These ads, which ran on Facebook, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, and Meta’s in-app ad network from April 10 to 20, represent a significant concern given the prevalence of deepfakes as a tool for victimizing women and minorities. Meta has stated that it prohibits ads containing adult content and utilizes a combination of AI detection systems and human review to identify such content. However, the company has failed to effectively detect and remove these deepfake ads on its own, raising questions about its commitment to enforcing its own policies and prioritizing the safety of its users.
