Explained | What should you know about Meta’s social media app Threads?
The story so far: The past two weeks sorely tested the patience of Twitter users. Though Threads is still in its early days, Meta plans to make it compatible with the open social networking protocol ActivityPub, so that Threads could one day work with platforms such as the decentralised social media site Mastodon and the content management system and website-builder WordPress. While Mr. Musk initially responded to news reports about Threads with jokes and light-hearted comments, Twitter lawyer Alex Spiro sent a letter to Mr. Zuckerberg, threatening a lawsuit, reported Semafor. In his letter dated July 5, Mr. Spiro claimed that Meta had hired “dozens of former Twitter employees” and used these employees along with the Twitter trade secrets they knew to build Meta’s “copycat” Threads app. Yet Threads brings experimental features, dark patterns, and algorithmic feeds during a time when more internet users want usability, transparency, and accountability from their social media companies.
