Inside Zuckerberg Meta-owned Plans to 'kill' Twitter with Threads App

Meta app Threads gained prominence soon after its launch, with over 10 million users signing up hours after launch.

The entire globe was astounded by the manner in which Threads, which almost resembles Twitter by many descriptions, would have such an overwhelming endorsement across the world.

How Zuckerberg is trying to eclipse other Social media platforms

Is Zuckerberg turning into a predatory Marxist out to edge others from social media influence?

Mark Zuckerberg copied Instagram stories from WhatsApp and later on bought WhatsApp.

He reportedly copied reels from tiktok, story feature from SnapChat and Instagram music from Spotify.

Finally, Zuckerberg has copied Threads App from Twitter.

Brief History of Threads

"Let’s do this. Welcome to Threads,” Meta Chief Executive Officer, doubling as Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, wrote in his first post on the new social media site.

Threads was launched on Wednesday and will run with no ads for now.

Zuckerberg launched Twitter like App Threads, amid chaotic ownership of Twitter by the world's richest man Elon Musk.

Meta will rival Twitter with a new app. Instagram proclaimed the much awaited launch of its text-based social networking app, Threads.

According to Tech Crunch, "Threads will permit Instagram subscribers to authenticate with their existing credentials in order to post short updates, including text up to 500 characters; links; photos; and videos up to 5 minutes in length."

At the launch, Threads became available on iOS and Android in 100 countries.

However Threads App is not in the European Union, allegedly over concerns around adhering to local data privacy rules.

Threads allow users to sign in with their Instagram details, where their username and verification status will prevail. But Threads profiles can be customized independently according to the desire of the user.

How Human Noise Kills Marine Species, as revealed by Scientists

Scientists have warned that the discord of noise made by humans is harming marine species . A comprehensive assessment revealed that large noise from human activities was as harmful as pollution, overfishing and climate change . The study that was conducted by the Journal Science exposed how marine animals can hear from far distances than they can see or smell. According to a report published in the Guardian, most of the marine life uses sound to catch prey as well as attracting a mating partner. Prof Carlos Duarte of King Abdullah University in Saudi Arabia argued that: “Marine animal can only sea up to around 10 meters, smell up to around a hundred meters, but they can hear across the entire ocean basins.” The research concluded that sound “is very important in the marine ecosystems, and noise is pervasive, affecting animals at all levels .” The increasing cacophony in the marine habitat is interfering with how marine animals respond to various survival...

Carbon dioxide to Make Jet Fuel, Study Reveals

Photo Source: twitter.com Aircrafts release a lot of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which contributes to climate change. A research that was conducted by Science News and reported on December, 22 2020 stated that there was a new iron-based catalyst that has been invented to convert carbon dioxide into jet fuel. It is only a matter of time that carbon dioxide pumped to the atmosphere by planes could be sucked and used to power the same. The air travel’s footprint in carbon emissions could be tremendously curtailed, if the carbon dioxide that is released is recycled to generate fuel. As per Science News reports, Air transport contributes to about 12 percent of the entire transportation carbon-related emissions. Unlike cars, aircrafts cannot carry bigger batteries which can be run on electricity generated from wind or solar panels. The current breakthrough in the conversion of carbon dioxide to fuel involves cheap ingredients such as iron and transformed through a single s...
