This photo illustration created in Washington, DC, on July 5, 2023, shows the logos for Threads, an Instagram app, and Instagram/AFPPix: More than 10 million people have signed up to Threads, Meta’s rival to Twitter, within the first few hours of its launch, the Facebook parent’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Thursday.
Back on Threads, he wrote: “It’ll take some time, but I think there should be a public conversations app with 1 billion+ people on it. Twitter has had the opportunity to do this but hasn’t nailed it. Hopefully we will.”Threads was introduced as a clear spin-off of Instagram, which offers a built-in audience of more than two billion users, thereby sparing the new platform the challenge of starting from scratch.
“Twitter users are desperate for an alternative, and Musk has given Zuckerberg an opening,“ she added. Musk then angered Twitter’s most devoted aficionados by declaring that access to its TweetDeck product -- which allows users to view a fast flow of tweets at once -- would be for paying customers only.Meta has its legion of critics too, especially in Europe, and despite Instagram’s massive user base, they could slow the site’s development.
According to a source close to the matter, Meta was wary of a new law called the Digital Markets Act , which sets strict rules for the world’s “gatekeeper” internet companies.
