Twelve voting rights organizations tell Meta its new social media site Threads needs a robust plan to ensure election disinformation doesn't go viral during the 2024 elections.

Mark Zuckerberg has pitched Meta's Twitter clone as a more "friendly" place for online discourse. Executives say breaking news and politics will not be the emphasized. But is that realistic?

The account ElonJet tracked the movement of Elon Musk's private jet in real time, until it was suspended by Twitter last year. Now, it has resurfaced on Meta's fast-growing Twitter rival, Threads.

An attorney for Twitter accused Meta of hiring dozens of former Twitter employees with the intention of creating a "copycat" platform, implying a lawsuit could come next.

Meta's new app, Threads, may be the latest in a long-string of Twitter's competitors, but it appears to have an edge in the game thanks to its ties to Instagram. Over 30 million users have joined.

Threads is billed as a text-based version of Meta's photo-sharing app Instagram that the company says provides "a new, separate space for real-time updates and public conversations."
