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.
While ranking the misdeeds of billionaires is a tricky business, given the choice I’d say Zuck is slightly better than Musk at the moment. :)
No need to limit yourself to those two awful options when good alternatives exist which aren’t run by either of them.
Hard disagree there. Facebook contributed to literal genocide. Elon is just an asshole.
Yeah well. Children are dying every day in cobalt mines because we need minerals for EV batteries
Yes, but unlike Elon’s claim, he did not actually invent the electric car. He wasn’t even the founder of Tesla. It was going to happen with or without him.
The guy that sold Bannon the user data he wanted under the table?
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.
Could I play it safe and fire them both into the sun?
