"Meta's Threads: The Rising Threat to Twitter and Microsoft Teams"

Adam Mosseri, the head of Instagram, stated that the social media app Threads, owned by Meta Platforms, will not actively encourage politics or hard news on its platform. Mosseri emphasized that Threads aims to create a public square for communities on Instagram and Twitter, providing a less angry place for conversations. He acknowledged the risks associated with politics and hard news, stating that the potential engagement and revenue they might generate are not worth the scrutiny, negativity, and integrity risks. Threads currently has 70 million users signed up, and as it competes with Twitter, the differing approaches to politics could be a deciding factor for users.
