• Meta plans to launch its own Twitter rival called Threads on July 6. Threads will be a text-based platform where users can publish posts, receive replies, likes, and shares. It will be integrated with Instagram, allowing users to easily transfer their username and followers. Threads aims to bring communities together for discussions on various topics.

Temporary limits on post views were introduced to combat data scraping and system manipulation. Twitter's CEO, Linda Yaccarino, received criticism for not addressing the matter publicly.
