July 6, 20233 yr 4 hours ago, DaEagles4Life said: If Threads takes over the #1 spot from Twitter, at what point do anti trust laws happen? At the point where anti-competitive practices are evident. Google has the top search engine, email client, and video hosting platform, but they don't actively block competitors from entering the market which is why they haven't run afoul of anti-trust law. Merely being good at what you do isn't illegal and it's not like Twitter immediately ceases to exist as a result, they just have another competitor entering the market, which is good for the consumer, not bad.

July 6, 20233 yr Me having Facebook and Instagram apps already on my phone so that Zuckerberg knows the color of my underwear each day other posters: Threads is invasive!

All I’m saying is if you had Facebook and Instagram on your smart phone the last ten years then you’re not going to be worried about Threads.

For a few reasons .. not the least of which is so that I'm that much further removed from social media altogether but also the privacy angle. FWIW I would encourage most people to use Brave or Firefox and avoid Chrome.

July 6, 20233 yr LOL @ people who can't walk 5 feet without their cellphone worried about "privacy" and their "personal data"

Obviously since it’s early there’s a lot of functionality that isn’t there, but I think it has a lot going for it. One thing I like is that stupid fringe takes aren’t shoved in my face.

This has to be devastating for Musk, to now have a major competitor for Market Share, while the company value is a third of what he paid for it. I wonder if this thought has ever crossed Musk's mind.
