Meta's Twitter rival Threads explodes to 70 million signups one day after launch
The text-based social media product already has 70 million sign-ups, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said on Friday.
I’m almost willing to put money on the fact Facebook likely has shady stuff buried in “Threads” code. The sheer invasiveness of them just makes it hard to think otherwise.

I doubt many national level politicians run their campaign accounts on their personal phones. In fact, I bet theres only one who does that.
