email 的cc list 叫 thread

META 在 6 日推出挑戰 Twitter 的新平台「Threads」氣勢如虹，由於帳號連結本身有 10 億用戶的 IG，推出第一日用戶已經突破 3000 萬，但陸續有用戶指出問題，除了暫未能使用 hashtag、網頁版外，用戶更發現由於 Threads 的帳戶連結到 IG，所以不能獨立刪除。

Threads 的附加隱私政策亦列明，用戶雖然可以隨時停用 Threads 個人檔案，即將 Threads deactivate，「但 Threads 個人檔案只能透過刪除您的 Instagram帳號來刪除」，這發現亦外國網民嘩然，形容是陷阱，外媒引述 IG 產品負責人 Adam Mosseri 回應承諾會改善，但現時未有時間表，他又指用戶可以停用 Threads 帳號，隱藏個人檔案和內容，或將個人檔案設為不公開，但 Threads 類似附屬 IG 的平台，共用同一個帳號，所以目前無法單獨刪除 Threads 帳號。

如前得克薩斯大學橄欖球隊教練達雷爾•羅伊(Darrell Royal)常說的﹐當面對一場極富挑戰性的比賽時﹐你需要“和把自己帶到舞會上的人共舞”。羅伊的意思是﹐即便是面臨艱巨的新挑戰﹐一個人最好也別丟掉曾讓他取得成功的“制勝法則”。在眼下美國和其他經濟體面臨恢復經濟增長的艱巨任務時﹐這是一個不錯的忠告。

這裡的“舞會”就是二戰結束以來全世界經歷的長達60年之久的不斷繁榮。1947年美國國內生產總值(GDP)約為1.6萬億美元（以2000年美元價值計算）﹐人均GDP略高於1.1萬美元。2007年的GDP為11.5萬億美元﹐人均約3.8萬美元。相當於每過一代﹐平均收入增長一倍。這要歸功於自由市場在資本和勞動力配置上的高效率。
