 Meta Platforms, the parent company of Facebook, made a splash on July 6 with the launch of their new platform, Threads, in 100 countries worldwide. Designed as a direct competitor to Twitter, this social media network aims to revolutionize public conversations. 
 Elon Musk, the owner and former CEO of Twitter, wasted no time criticizing Threads, branding it as a copycat project. However, Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO and founder of Meta Platforms, revealed that Threads garnered a staggering 100 million sign-ups in just four days, a feat that took Twitter five years to achieve. 
 Serving as a sister app to Instagram, Threads requires users to have an Instagram account to create a Threads page. It incorporates familiar Twitter features such as liking, commenting, reposting, and sharing. Interestingly, it also offers some exclusive features, like 500 characters per thread and the ability to share videos of up to five minutes, usually limited to subscribed Twitter users. 
 Despite these similarities, Threads lacks certain Twitter hallmarks such as direct messaging, hashtags, and trending stories. Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri emphasized that Threads was not intended as a replacement for Twitter but rather as an open and community-centric alternative for Instagram’s existing user base. 
 Some speculate that Mosseri’s statement was a subtle response to Musk’s recent efforts to boost Twitter’s revenue by promoting paid verification options and limiting the number of daily tweets visible to users. However, Meta denies allegations made by Twitter attorney Alex Spiro, who claims that former Twitter employees at Meta used insider information to design Threads. The situation has yet to escalate into a full-blown lawsuit. 
 As the internet buzzes with comparisons between Threads and Twitter, the micro-blogging giant is taking a proactive stance. With the debate still ongoing, users eagerly await the outcome of this clash between two influential social media platforms. 
 Meta’s launch of Threads has garnered significant attention and controversy. With its rapid sign-up rate and unique blend of features, Threads poses a legitimate challenge to Twitter’s dominance in the micro-blogging space. The allegations of insider information and Meta’s denial only add fuel to the fire, making this clash of the social media titans all the more intriguing.
