Tech giant Meta just can’t seem to keep its digital skeletons in the closet. Their latest Threads feature, which promises to make posts magically disappear after 24 hours, is proving about as effective as a toddler playing hide and seek.

The Digital Ghost That Won’t Rest

Mark Zuckerberg’s newest plaything, Threads, launched a “ghost post” feature that was supposed to make your hot takes and embarrassing midnight musings vanish into the digital ether. Spoiler alert: they’re not.

Researchers discovered that some of these supposedly ephemeral posts are still lurking around Google Search like clingy exes, completely defeating the purpose of the temporary post feature. Imagine thinking you’ve deleted that spicy tweet about your boss, only to find it’s still googleable weeks later.

The Devil’s in the Digital Details

Meta quickly scrambled to fix the bug, with spokesperson Jocelyn Jones admitting that “ghost posts are back to resting in peace”. But let’s be real - nothing on the internet truly dies. Screenshots exist, archives persist, and your digital footprint is basically immortal.

The takeaway? Be careful what you post, even on platforms promising temporary amnesia. Your words might just come back to haunt you - literally.
