Meta's new social media venture, billed as"Instagram's text-based conversation app", appears to mimic Twitter's business model.Meta, the parent company of Facebook, revealed Monday a new"conversation" app called Threads, which appears to mimic Twitter – a direct challenge to the social media platform owned by Elon Musk.A listing for the app, called Threads, appeared on Apple’s App Store, indicating it would debut as early as Thursday, July 6.
Users, who must be at least 12 years old, will be able to keep their Instagram account and keep their usernames and follow the same accounts on the new app, according to screenshots displayed on the App Store listing. Twitter collects information from users during their use of the platform, when users provide the information directly and when Twitter receives data from third parties, the company's privacy policy says.
The rate limits gradually rose from 6,000 posts per day for verified accounts and 600 posts per day for unverified accounts, to 10,000 for verified users and 1,000 for unverified users.
