Meta, formerly known as Facebook, is set to release a new app called Threads that appears to rival Twitter. The app is described as a "text-based conversation app" linked to Instagram, offering a Twitter-like microblogging experience. Users will be able to keep their Instagram usernames and follow the same accounts on Threads. The launch comes at a time when Twitter users have grown frustrated with changes made by Elon Musk, who acquired the platform last year. However, potential users may be hesitant about Meta's data privacy track record.
