Facebook behemoth Meta officially launched Threads, its text-based rival to Twitter, on Wednesday -- but its release in Europe has been delayed over data privacy concerns. | ManilaBulletin READ:
Threads is the biggest challenger yet to Elon Musk-owned Twitter, which has seen a series of potential competitors emerge but not yet replace one of social media's most iconic companies, despite its epic struggles.
Zuckerberg is widely understood to be taking advantage of Musk's chaotic ownership of Twitter to push out the new product, which the company hopes will become the go-to communication channel for celebrities, companies and politicians. Musk and Zuckerberg are known to be bitter rivals -- and have even offered to meet each other in a fighting cage to wrestle it out.
The Tesla tycoon said last week that he was limiting access to Twitter to ward off AI companies from "scraping" the site to train their technology. "I was worried that our window would close, because timing is important," he added to Platformer, a tech news site.
