Meta’s new text-based social app Threads has quickly gained 100 million users since launching last week, which appears to be negatively impacting traffic on Twitter. According to web analytics, Twitter traffic declined 5-11% over the first two days Threads was available compared to the previous week. Threads was able to grow rapidly by allowing users to sign up with their existing Instagram accounts and bring over some of their followers. However, Threads has not yet launched in Europe due to regulatory issues. The fast growth of Threads may solidify its position as a real competitor to Twitter, which has over 238 million daily active users.
I could not disagree more. Facebook has been shown to be the most powerful cause for the skyrocketing increase in teenage suicides. And Zuck has done nothing. Facebook was also knowingly allowing Cambridge Analytica to scrape user data and target specific voters that could be swayed and was a primary reason Trump won the electoral college but lost the general vote. And Zuck has done nothing.
But yeah, Elon has been a jerk to some people and says stupid shit.
