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.

Why Matiang'i comeback threatens Ruto's re-election bid

  Former Interior cabinet secretary Dr. Fred Matiang'i is a great rival to President William Ruto in his 2027 re-election contest. Matiang'i is set to give Ruto a run for his money, owing to his track record as a cabinet secretary in the previous regime.  Former President Uhuru Kenyatta trusted Matiang'i more than any other cabinet secretary due to his workaholic nature and might be forced to finance his presidential quest.  The former Interior CS is reportedly eyeing the presidential seat on a Jubilee ticket, as alluded by the party's secretary general Jeremiah Kioni. Ruto's dalliance with the doyen of opposition politics and ODM party leader Raila Odinga had complicated the opposition's quest to unseat the sitting Head of State. Matiang'i comeback seals the vaccum left by Raila's departure. Why Ruto might lose Kenya's presidential seat in 2027 Ahead of 2022 general elections in Kenya , President William Ruto promised Kenyans heaven on Earth onl...

Public Seal transfer: Inside Ruto's plot to secretly sell State Parastatals

  The reason why the Public Seal was allegedly transferred from the Attorney General office to the Chief of Staff in the office of the President of Kenya is yet to be known with quite a number of contradictory remarks. Phode News Hub delved deeper and unearthed imponderable dirty corrupt schemes and conspiracy to privatize State parastatals through illegitimate means.  Lawyer Ndegwa Njiru alleged that the Public Seal is in the custody of the Head of Public Service, Felix Kipatarus Koskei. All commercial engagements and accords will allegedly be sealed by Koskei on behalf of Kenya government. Kenya is glaring at the risks of  being auctioned by a person who lacks the legal knowledge to discern what should be sealed and what should not. According to the Attorney General Act 2012, Section 28 specifically provides that, “The Attorney-General shall have custody of the public seal of the Republic of Kenya." Standard Media exclusively reported that President William Ruto sec...
