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.

Kenyans surprised over UDA's 'Voters Repair' remarks for President Ruto 2027 reelection

 Kenyans are reacting strongly to remarks by some UDA leaders that many interpret as hints at election manipulation ("ukarabati ya kura" / "voters repair") ahead of the 2027 presidential election. What Happened On or around May 23, 2026, NTV Kenya and other outlets aired footage from a UDA meeting at Kakamega Deputy Governor Ayub Savula's home.  Leaders including Savula and MP Charles Gimose reportedly used phrases like "tutafanya ukarabati ya kura" (we will repair/do maintenance on the votes).  Some comments referenced high victory margins in places like Tanzania under Samia Suluhu or Museveni-style wins. This has been widely seen as implying plans to "fix" or pad results in favor of President William Ruto's reelection, rather than a literal call for better voter registration or system maintenance. Public Reaction 1. Surprise and outrage: Many Kenyans on X and social media expressed shock, viewing it as arrogant or desperate signaling am...
