EPN Private Compilation – Elon Musk, who bought Twitter with a $44 billion deal, caused great controversy with the changes he started to make right after purchasing Twitter.
Musk, who signed a major dismissal operation on Twitter, also started the “blue tick for 8 dollars” period.
Thus, it was expected that both Twitter would increase its revenues and users would access the blue tick feature by paying a certain monthly fee.
Although Musk made positive changes in Twitter, the discussions about the future of Twitter did not stop with the effect of the steps taken.
In this process, some comments began to appear on social media that Twitter is no longer the old Twitter.
Musk’s ‘use limit’ statement was (perhaps) the last of the events that caused users to revolt.
While all this was happening, news began to emerge that Mark Zuckerberg, known to many as the founder of Facebook, is developing an application behind closed doors by Meta company, which incorporates popular social media applications such as WhatsApp and Instagram: A Twitter competitor!
THERE WERE POSITIVELY WELCOME TO A TWITTER COMPETITOR
While rumors spread that Meta was working on an application that rivaled Twitter, some Twitter users welcomed it.
New information has been added to these rumors periodically, and finally, Meta has confirmed that it is working on a text-based application that can be called a Twitter competitor.
But when would this application come, how would it be, would it look like Twitter or would it be an Instagram application that carries Twitter’s functions?
The answers to these questions began to be received over time.
Then… In the wake of a discussion about the usage limit, Meta said that it will open that application on July 6th. The app was called Threads.
Threads became a subject of curiosity in a short time.
AND THE TIME HAS COME… THREADS IS AVAILABLE
Launched in the heat of July, Threads has become millions of users in a short time (Threads is said to have amassed 10 million members in just seven hours).
In other words, while Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk are still preparing for a possible cage match, the social media platforms of the two billionaires have entered a fierce struggle as of today.
A sort of Musk-Zuckerberg struggle began. However, the place where the struggle started was not a cage where cage fights were held.
CAGE MATCH EVENT…
As you know, it is considered possible that Zuckerberg and Musk will have a cage match, although the place and time are not yet known.
In fact, it all started with Elon Musk jokingly posting on his social media platform Twitter, Facebook and Instagram’s parent company Meta’s CEO, Zuckerberg, stating that he was “ready for a cage fight”. It had progressed quite interestingly.
After Musk’s ‘I’m ready’ message, Zuckerberg, who studied Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) and recently won Jiu-Jitsu tournaments, shared a screenshot of Musk’s tweet in his story and wrote the following sentences: “Send me a location”
This post was interpreted as Zuckerberg’s acceptance of Musk’s challenge.
While we don’t know for sure if this fight will happen yet, there are some things we do know about everything you need to know about Threads, including how you can download it. Here’s everything you need to know about Threads!
WHAT IS THREADS?
Let’s start with the simplest question first.
So ‘What are Threads?’ with the question.
Threads is a ‘text-based app’ released today by Meta Platforms.
Threads is linked to Instagram. Thus, it allows users to follow accounts they are already interested in on Instagram.
As with Twitter, thread-like posts can be made in the app, allowing people to share their perspectives and ‘connect over chat’.
Much like Twitter, thread-like posts can be shared in the app, allowing people to share their perspectives on a particular topic and ‘connect via chat’.
SECRET THREADS SURPRISE ON INSTAGRAM
The hidden threads surprise encountered by users who type ‘threads’ or ‘thread’ in the Instagram search bar was also on the agenda. When users type these words, a small pink ticket appears in front of them, and when they click on this ticket, a rotating card animation is displayed with the Threads logo on one side and the user’s Instagram username on the other.
Here’s Threads’ description on the App Store:
“Threads is where communities come together to discuss everything from the topics you care about today to the topics that will trend tomorrow. Whatever your interests are, you can follow and connect directly with your favorite creators and others who love the same thing, or share your ideas, opinions and ideas. You can create your own loyal followers to share your creativity with the world.”
HOW TO DOWNLOAD THREADS?
Threads is available for download from the App Store, provided you have an iPhone running iOS 14.0 or higher.
HOW DOES THREADS USE MY DATA?
According to information in the App Store, Threads collects 14 different types of data that can be associated with your identity. These are listed as follows:
- Health and Fitness
- Financial Information
- Personal information
- User Content
- Browsing History
- Usage Data
- diagnosis
- Purchased
- Location
- Persons
- Search history
- Identifiers
- Sensitive Information
- Other Data
HOW DOES THREADS LIKE TWITTER?
Meta’s new app, Threads, offers users the chance to create public thread-like posts, similar to Twitter posts.
Experts have described Threads as a ‘Twitter killer’ amid decades of speculation that it could replace the social media platform Twitter.
THE QUESTION THAT TAKES ATTENTION: HOW TO DELETE THREADS ACCOUNT?
On the other hand, you might want to delete your Threads account now or in the future.
However, in such a case, it seems that you will have to delete your Instagram account as well.
Because apparently deleting a Threads account also terminates the linked Instagram account.
Meta explains this in its ‘Additional Privacy Policy’:
“You can deactivate your Threads profile at any time, but your Threads profile can only be deleted by deleting your Instagram account.”
The justification Meta explains in detail on its policy page is that the Threads profile is part of the user’s Instagram account.
The discovery of this condition has surprised many users.
