I don’t see how another platform owned by meta could ever be seen as a positive development.

The only way Threads will “kill” Twitter is if enough people are willing to sign away their privacy and their humanity to the Zuckerverse. Facebook is now trash. Instagram has proven it hates its users. And everything at Meta is tainted by Zuck’s obsession with destroying privacy.

Of course people are willing to do that. Have you seen how many are on TikTok?
Not that I think that will kill Twitter

This is just another hit piece on Elon Musk. Twitter is much better now that he has taken over. It is literally the only major platform where you can hear mostly uncensored news. The Twitter files demonstrated the ugly reality that Big Tech is now just an arm of the security state. That is what the author hates about it.

A poor article in Unherd? It was bound to happen eventually given it actually believes in free speech.

Perhaps they will both lose – A win win.

Whatever you might think of Elon Musk, you almost certainly think less of Mark Zuckerberg.
Threads will be just one more of those “me too” products that never takes off.

Since I took myself off Fakebook and WhatsApp, thus I seldom ever think of Zuckerberg and then as you say – disparagingly.
Unfortunately Elon too can behave erratically and that is troubling as the world is desperate need for a real functioning hero – considering the precarious state it is in these days.

Any sane society would ban Facebook, Instagram, and Tik Tok immediately. Twitter, Google, and YouTube would be regulated as monopoly utilities, required to exercise zero censorship except for illegal material, and limited to profits of 15% of revenue.

Talk is cheap. Twitter is worthless. Always has been. A socially transmitted disease. A plague.
