Threads is the biggest challenger yet to Elon Musk-owned Twitter.
ByMore 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.
In his first tweet in over a decade, Zuckerberg posted a Spiderman pointing at Spiderman meme in an apparent reference to the similarity of the two platforms. Analyst Jasmine Engberg from Insider Intelligence said Threads only needs one out of four Instagram monthly users"to make it as big as Twitter."
The Tesla tycoon said last week that he was limiting access to Twitter to ward off AI companies from"scraping" the site to train their technology. Mosseri said he regretted that the EU launch was delayed, but if Meta had waited for regulatory clarity from Brussels, Threads would remain"many, many, many, months away."
Meta was called out for doing just that after it bought the messaging app WhatsApp, and European regulators will be on high alert to ensure that the company doesn't do so illegally with Threads.
