One day after a federal judge temporarily barred key Biden administration officials and federal agencies from communicating with social media platforms about censoring specific online content, Mark Zuckerberg launched Threads — Meta’s new social media platform intended to compete with Twitter.
“But have no fear all, hope for censorship isn’t lost,” journalist Kim Iversen told viewers of “The Kim Iversen Show,” “because yesterday, Mark Zuckerberg‘s Twitter knockoff, Threads, was unveiled and it immediately began censoring users.”
Iversen reported the app was released with much fanfare, but she said she doubts it will become a real competitor to Twitter for several reasons.
First, she said, the user base for an app like Threads is different from that of Twitter.

Zucks code named “Shadow” app.
You can’t delete Threads you have to delete Instagram first but I’d say they’ll follow you for the rest of your life and after ,LOL

The issue is never the issue...
Beware of Silicon Valley CEOs bearing gifts ..
Uh, NOT collecting anything from me. Hey zuckee....🖕
It’s Instagram without the photos. Runs on the same platform.
I shocked!
It’s only bad when Tik Tok does that
NOT surprising...
Seems like the EU would go ‘nuts’ over this situation.
So many people couldn’t wait to worship this beast.
Is it like FB, which doesn't ask for proof of identity when you sign up, but after you start using it, won't let you log on unless you provide drivers license or passport? I wouldn't sign up either way.
Twitter still does too. Facebook,/Meta. And any and every site that uses Google 3rd party services on their site.
They all put a tracker in your computer that phones home to them with everything you do on the web.
Remind me to never have anything to do with it, and then studiously avoid it.
