Comment (by pmestevez):

 Hey @swissspidy - thanks for the feedback. I understand your hesitancy but
 hopefully I can provide the context to explain why adding support for
 Threads embeds to core is the right decision.

 I support the team that build all the Threads APIs and also have knowledge
 of the process to add the access token requirements to Facebook and
 Instagram (which I believe is what you are mimicked the Instagram API and
 thus kept the access token requirement.

 However, my team and I have taken the necessary steps to make the case
 that Threads should follow the industry standards and do NOT require
 access tokens for embeds. We secured the necessary approvals and launched
 the new version of the API, which is the new one used in this proposed
 change.

 Regarding the questionnaire, is your request that I answer in this ticket
 all the questions listed in the handbook section that you link to?

 Thanks!

 access stuff in the past. If they change their mind again one year from
 now then that's a bad user experience.
