Zucker to Launch Rival to Twitter
2023-07-07
[Epoch Times] Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, has teased that it’s launching a platform to rival Twitter. Called "Threads," the Meta-backed microblogging platform is billed as "Instagram’s text-based conversation app," according to a listing on Apple’s App Store.

The listing indicates that Threads will released on Thursday, July 6.

"Threads is where communities come together to discuss everything from the topics you care about today to what’ll be trending tomorrow," the app description reads.

Musk, who bought Twitter last October, reacted to news of the emergence of [code named] P92 by challenging Zuckerberg to a mixed martial arts (MMA) cage match.

Zuckerberg, who’s been training in Brazilian jiu-jitsu since 2022 and has already won medals in a tournament, promptly accepted.
