Facebook owner Meta set to launch Twitter rival ‘Threads’ on Thursday
Meta, Facebook’s parent company, is preparing to launch an alternative to the microblogging site Twitter on Thursday.
Twitter's rival app, which is called Threads, is described by Meta as a “text based conversation app” that brings communities together. It is available for pre-order on the Apple App Store, which will be linked to Instagram.
The new app comes as the latest move in the rivalry between Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter owner Elon Musk.
Meta’s Chief Product Officer Chris Cox has called Threads as their response to Twitter. He added that they have been hearing from creators and public figures about having a platform that is sanely run which they can trust and rely upon for distribution.
Meanwhile, Twitter boss reacted to the launch of Meta’s upcoming app. “Thank goodness they’re so sanely run,” Musk stated while taking a dig at Meta Platforms.
Mario Nafwal, IBC Group CEO, opined on Twitter that the term “sanely run" might suggest that the app will collect all your data as mentioned in the app’s description. He further noted that he strongly believes that Musk’s vision for Twitter is far more superior as compared to Zuckerberg’s track record.
