    Threads is temporarily blocking searches for “covid,” Instagram CEO says.

    In response to a post on Threads by The Washington Post’s Taylor Lorenz, Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri says the blocking of “covid” searches is only temporary and that the platform is “working on it:”

    I don’t have an ETA to give you unfortunately, but it is temporary and we are working on it. We’re just getting pulled in a lot of directions at once right now. The biggest safety focus right now is managing content responsibly given the war in Israel in Gaza.

    Shortly after Threads rolled out its search feature, Lorenz reported that Threads is blocking searches related to “covid” and “long covid.” Mosseri has previously said that Threads is “not going to do anything to encourage” politics or “hard news.”

    Apple’s banking partnership sounds like a mess.

    Some executives at Goldman Sachs are regretting partnering with Apple on its credit card and savings account, with one saying: “we should have never done this f—ing thing,” according to The Wall Street Journal.

    The firm reportedly wants to exit the partnership, but it doesn’t seem like the process will be simple. It will have to offload the Apple Card to another company and “high balances” in savings accounts could “make it harder to separate from Apple,” the WSJ reports.
