Twitter stood out for being a space for information and politics, and now with the arrival of Sonusers think it is a copy, so Adam MosseriDirector of instagramspecifies that the issues to be prioritized are very different from those of the Elon.

In a conversation with the media The edgesaid that the new request “it will do nothing to promote” politics and “difficult news”. He argued that the added aspects of scrutiny, negativity, and integrity risks associated with these issues do not justify the commitment or additional revenue that could be earned.

In this regard, he noted that there are enough “amazing” communities (sports, music, fashion, beauty, entertainment, etc.) to create an impactful platform without the need to get involved in topics that spark debate.

Your point of view is probably influenced by your previous experience in the field of information in Facebook.

“The goal is not to replace Twitter. The goal is to create a public place for communities on Instagram who have never accepted Twitter and for communities on Twitter (and other platforms) who are interested in a less hostile place for conversations, but not everything on Twitter,” Mosseri said.

During the last years, Aim it moved away from news and politics, even reducing the amount of content users see on Facebook about it. It should be recalled that he removed the word “News” from the main page.

Additionally, the company reacted to a new Canadian law that would require paying for local news by announcing that it would remove news from Facebook and Instagram in this country.

Despite this, it seems inevitable that politics and current affairs will have a presence on Threads as politicians and journalists have already started using the platform.

Although Threads shares similarities with Twitter, Mosseri seems to have a broader vision, in keeping with the statement of Mark Zuckerberg, who talked about reaching one billion people.

Unlike Twitter, where users can access trending and popular topics on their homepage, Threads does not offer this feature. Being integrated with Instagram, the platform focuses on displaying content of interest that was already linked to the linked social network.

What this link has generated is that users are taking advantage of their presence on Instagram to amplify their messages and reach a wider audience.

It is available for office

Threads, Meta’s new social network, surpassed 30 million registered users on its first day of launch, and many users are still wondering what platforms the new app can be used on.

A big difference with Twitter is the lack of a desktop version as the app can only be used by downloading it from Google Play Store and App Store.

Currently, when entering the desktop version of instagramusers are allowed to view the profiles of users who are already on Sonbut there is no option to post information.

The app is currently deployed in over 100 countries to iOS and Androidbut users from these countries can only download the app on mobile device.
