In a bid to challenge the embattled social media giant Twitter, Meta has unveiled its new conversation app called Threads. 7NEWS
expressed his vision for Threads, saying, “We want to create a platform where people can engage in healthy conversations, share ideas, and connect with others without the fear of harassment or toxicity. Threads is our answer to the growing demand for a more respectful and constructive social media experience.”Apple/Meta
As Meta enters the conversation app market, it faces stiff competition from established platforms such as Twitter and Reddit. However, Meta’s strong user base from platforms like Facebook and Instagram could provide a significant advantage, allowing Threads to quickly gain traction among millions of existing Meta users.
The success of Threads will heavily rely on Meta’s ability to effectively address concerns related to privacy, data handling, and content moderation. The company has faced criticism in the past over its handling of user data and the impact of its algorithms on societal well-being. Meta acknowledges these challenges and has pledged to prioritise user safety and the responsible use of technology in its endeavours.
