As Twitter experienced one of the longest outages over the weekend, Meta teased Instagram Threads — an app aimed to strike at the Chief Twit's territory
with an expected launch date set for July 6. The official description seems to hint at its competitor’s shortcomings, promising to “Say more with Threads.” The app is poised to serve similar functions as Twitter and other social platforms, with users encouraged to “follow and connect directly with your favorite creators and others who love the same things — or build a loyal following of your own to share your ideas, opinions and creativity with the world.
Over the weekend, thousands of Twitter users were greeted by messages informing them that their “Rate limit” had been exceeded, limiting access after just a short amount of time viewing posts. Musk blamed the issue on “extreme levels of data scraping & system manipulation,” and instead of presenting a potential fix, the self-proclaimed free-speech “absolutist” opted to punish Twitter users by curtailing how many tweets they could read.
