Quick Glance: Threads' Instagram 'Trap' Exposes Facebook's Need for Breakup
  • Threads, Meta's Twitter rival, launched on Wednesday and users are already attempting to deactivate their accounts.

  • The creation of Threads follows two antitrust complaints filed by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which aimed to force Meta to divest Instagram and WhatsApp and accused the company of engaging in 'anti-competitive conduct.'

Quick Glance: Twitter traffic drops after Musk takeover, Threads debut
  • Twitter's traffic has significantly decreased since billionaire Elon Musk took control of the social media platform last fall, with long-time tweeters switching to alternative platforms like Meta's Threads.

  • Twitter's declining numbers come as Meta officially launches Threads, widely seen as a new competitor to Twitter, which debuted last week.

  • As of Monday, Twitter is currently ranked 37th in Cloudflare's list of top 100 domains, coinciding with the unpopular changes made by Musk to the site in recent months and the launch of Threads and other Twitter alternatives.

  • Earlier this month, Twitter, which Musk officially purchased last October, faced backlash from its users when the platform imposed a rate limit on the number of posts different account tiers could read each day, as reported by The Guardian.
