And you can use our existing suite of safety and user controls.”

Threads is a new app, built by the Instagram team, for sharing text updates and joining public conversations. You log in using your Instagram account and posts can be up to 500 characters long and include links, photos, and videos up to 5 minutes in length.

'Hunger Games' Fans Debate Viral Theory About Katniss Everdeen & President Snow

If you haven’t seen the movies or read the books in a while, Katniss becomes the face of a rebellion in her home country and the mortal enemy of President Snow (Donald Sutherland) after volunteering for her sister Prim (Willow Shields) to compete in the annual Hunger Games.

She then makes it clear that she’ll play by her own rules by refusing to kill Peeta (Josh Hutcherson), the other tribute from her home district.

Although it has commonly been believed that Prim was chosen by chance, leading to Katniss’ decision to volunteer for the games, some now believe that it was orchestrated by President Snow. And other fans are seeing red about the theory.
