threads — meta's and mark zuckerberg's challenger to twitter launched on wednesday night to much fa nfahe new app is on pace to break download records. threads is linked to meta's already popular instagram app — allowing instagram's existing two billion monthly active users to seamlessly transition to the new platform to share text, videos and photos. zuckerberg said his goal for threads is to have "a public conversations app "with over one billion people on it." "twitter has had the opportunity to do this "but hasn't nailed it. "hopefully we will." threads debuts at a time when twitter has continued to see a rise in hate speech and some users have expressed fustration with elon musk�*s changes since his takeover in october. so, how do twitter and threads stack up against one another? twitter allows non—twitter blue subscribers to write posts up to 280 characters — while threads allows up to 500 characters per post. both allow users to post links, photos and videos on their apps but twitter limits video to two minutes and 20 seconds and threads allows videos of up to five minutes in len

social wars are in full swing, but if necessary, zuckerberg will wipe the threads. a duel to refuse, it is unlikely that the glove will be thrown. challenge accepted young patriots of the mogilev region this weekend turned into cadets as part of a military-patriotic tournament, the challenge held by the patriots of belarus together with the ministry of defense of the military academy and the ministry of education , ekaterina strikha found out how the recruits managed to pass the initiation and overcome their fears. this is the second day of the military-patriotic tournament, which was organized by the youngest public association of patriots, we are near borisov on the training ground of the training center of the military academy of our country. today , young people are working on the knowledge they gained yesterday, because it's a challenge. they took oh. this twenty bold and brave changed the usual way of life for a while turned into cadets them. it would seem that everything is on the shoulder, the guys from the minsk region have already gone through an interesti

relationship the latest battle between billionaires mark zuckerberg and elon musk is on.m and parent company meta launched a new app called threads. a text-based offering taking aim at musk's offering and 360 million users. earlier today meta founder mark zuckerberg's apparent initial post saying, let's do this, visible to a select few given early access to threads. >> so kind of looks like this right now. looks like a mash-up of, like, instagram, facebook, and twitter. >> reporter: content creator, drex lee, who makes money as an influencer on instagram selected today for a sneak peek, and he's already posted ten times. what grade do you give it so far? >> i mean, everything has been running pretty smoothly, so i would give it, like, an "a." >> reporter: the growing rivalry between zuckerberg and musk might even get physical. the two trading barbs about a potential cage match, but as their battle for micro bloggers that is the prize fight of the moment. >> this fight is about so many things. this is about users. this is about money. it's about ideology. it is about power

zuckerberg sees a business opportunity.competitor to twitter until some of these developments. he is the strongest threat to twitter. he said, let's make it a nice, friendly place. >> people who signed on said they were getting censorship notes. this person is censored, that person is censored. i am not sure a free-speech platform that people are looking to be a safe haven away from debate. you do have people across the political spectrum hashing it out. we will see how this goes. there are a lot of problems on day one. >> like we need another social media app. >> twitter is not unique. it can be copied. the issue of regulation, information, this information is front right now. any sense that zuckerberg is more in line with censorship, i would be careful here. both of those guys, you are going to have to watch them and the idea of information and how it plays, that is a big deal. >> bret: thanks. a special report and salute. amazing video. a georgia deputy being hailed as a hero after saving the life of a passenger trapped

so that is the challenge that zuckerberg has to overcome here. if twitter keeps giving opportunities where it gets distracted with the purpose of the platform that most people use it for, then zuckerberg has another moment here to capitalize and may up that engagement. adrian: we are sitting here thinking that elon musk is slightly batty. what if this is genius? what if x becomes a super successful app? of course advertisers are going to pay to be on it. that may be a long way down the road. or is it? is it going to make money in the end, and we will all be sitting here when x is the platform that everybody is on, thinking this man is amazing? >> the assumption behind your question is that people will change their habits fundamentally and stop their purchases through other platforms, paypal, amazon. these habits are entrenched now. covid has helped us in determining how we buy online. if we are going to change that, we need good reasons. we are going to need to be educated, which costs a lot of money, by x as to why there is value in changing our

zuckerberg talked about it. on the commentary between their guidance and some of the reiteration that this is the year of efficiency. as they raise revenue for the september quarter by 7%, they essentially kept operating income unchanged and talked about the spending increase in investments next year. all of that makes perfect sense, but that is not the cost-cutting year of efficiency that they have talked about over the past year. essentially, the new language, i would say if i was going to capture what investors are thinking, this is the year of efficient growth. in other words, investors are ok with some of the pressure that is going to come with margins over the next year and a half, if they are able to result in growth. an example that zuckerberg gave was there threads product, but it was built on a very small team that did it quickly. when he mentioned that, the stock was up 4.5%, then it went up 6.5 percent in after-hours. i think that is an indication that investors like this concept of efficient growth.

zuckerberg found an audience. call for one. 30 million users in less than 24 hours after the launch. they are still adding up right now. the allegation here is about censorship. give me an example. >> that's right. at least two users that we discovered were being secretly censored. meaning they moved to the platform and they were not told that there would be warning labels attached to their profiles when people attempted to follow them. and that's exactly what happened. one confirmed to me yesterday that indeed that was happening and the censorship was carried over from instagram. people can block whoever they want to block and there is a lot of misinformation out there, including by mainstream news publications. we pointed out an example yesterday where "the new york times" suggested the covid vaccine prevented transmission and infection, which i can testify personally is misinformation. i got sick after getting the vaccine. >> bill: your allegation, does this apply to some sort of political position or medical p

if you log on, and mark zuckerberg, if you read the lawsuit that continues from that, you see zuckerbergeople are getting sensitive covid tweets. david zuckerberg -- which is why my first two it was a retweet. he said "is this a platform for free speech, or -- for conservatives?" time will tell. >> emily: some of the media coverage already has the plan. there is an anti-e anti-elon, wt providing evidence, "he has alleged this before." it's clearly favoring threads and zuckerberg. interestingly, millions of users now on threads, it has not generated revenue that we know of. there is still not a website or whatever yet. it looks like it's getting popularity. >> julie: i just downloaded it. it looks exactly like twitter. i do like twitter more. but i'm sure they will continue -- the white house is probably thrilled. "more social media for us to censor." the fact that the white house has this, that they are not allowed to meddle in our social media and censor and cancel those conservative voices, because they don't like free speech unless it agrees with their speech. this will just be one mo

he is considerably bigger than mark zuckerberg. mark zuckerberg is a small guy.hey say he has been studying brazilian jujitsu. and in the case of elon musk, all he said as i will be a big body and lay on him and maneuvered the move called the walrus where i lay on him and do nothing. if i have to bet on one or the other i would bet on the jujitsu artist. but elon musk is a big dude. if he falls on mark zuckerberg, who knows? i don't know. i will go with mark zuckerberg, the underdog. >> we have the tail of the tape on the screen. i will be real. elon musk is 6'1" and doesn't look like 187. he looks about 210 paragraph that would be an advantage. i will go with mark zuckerberg as well. hispanic that is what i am doing. this is not boxing. if it was boxing i would pick elon musk. a martial artist, you have to change. >> always love it, even and because we disagree. thank you stephen a. smith. >> that's right. my pleasure. >>> the squad in ben and jerry celebrating the 4th of july by attacking america. for some reason what used to be radical is now totally acceptabl

the battle between elon musk and mark zuckerberg could be headed to the courtroom. that's on the docket coming next. tri-zone. in my ozempic® tri-zone, i lowered my a1c, cv risk, and lost some weight. in studies, the majority of people reached an a1c under 7 and maintained it. ozempic® lowers the risk of major cardiovascular events such as stroke, heart attack, or death in adults also with known heart disease. and you may lose weight. adults lost up to 14 pounds. ozempic® isn't for people with type 1 diabetes. don't share needles or pens, or reuse needles. don't take ozempic® if you or your family ever had medullary thyroid cancer, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if allergic to it. stop ozempic® and get medical help right away if you get a lump or swelling in your neck, severe stomach pain, or an allergic reaction. serious side effects may include pancreatitis. gallbladder problems may occur. tell your provider about vision problems or changes. taking ozempic® with a sulfonylurea or insulin may increase low blood sugar risk. side effects lik

recently agreeing to a cage match , and a new jab from zuckerberg, as threads was released, he went on twitter and posted a picture of two spiderman's pointing at each other, admitting to the platforms similarity. >> the twitter ceo said we are often imitated but the twitter communicated community can never be duplicated. >> twitter has been fraught with drama, it is not making money, it had to limit the number of posts people could look at. when you are a platform that makes money off of advertising, that is very bad. these are just tough times for twitter, some people would argue it is a death spiral. >> threads is unavailable in the european union because of data privacy concerns. >>> not every record that is broken is a good thing. >> it is hot, and it's very draining. >> the concerns scientists have is the earth's record records its hottest week ever. >>> for more than three decades, ♪ ♪ californinia sky ♪ ♪ tododos alcanzazamos las s estrellas s ♪ ♪ sunny statate of mindnd ♪ ♪ flexixin' all thehe time ♪ ♪ todo o es dorado o ♪ ♪ feels so o golden ♪ ♪ v vive en el estado o dorad

it's as though or mice and zuckerberg is putting a new piece of cheese on the mouse trap. going, wow, that's a tasty piece of cheese. we should have learned a lesson. internet platforms, not just facebook, not just instagram, which are owned by, medical so google, youtube, tiktok, they've all rolled back, all of the protections. by the way, -- the protections they put in place in 2020 to protect democracy, all of that has been rolled back. no defense right now. and the notion that zuckerberg is somehow going to run a pro democracy site on threads as laughable. what he's going to do is try to lure us and, get us addicted with a product that won't have advertising for a while. and then, when he needs to monetize it, he will do to that product exactly what he did to instagram and exactly what he did to facebook. democracy is going to suffer dramatically because this company has absolutely no economic incentives today to promote facts or truth on any of its platforms. what it does as promote the content that gets people to be engaged with their site, that's really harmful. >>

at a business level, let's be clear, zuckerberg's company is not exactly innovating here.is stepping into a void that elon musk created with all of those actions that had users and advertisers bailing. threads' early success has nothing to do with threads, argues nyu business professor scott galaway, instead noting twitter's dysfunction, saying musk lowered the drawbridge, and zuckerberg walked through it. he was an effective entrepreneur with his other companies, pointing out musks after claims about twitter were off base. doesn't mean he has no business acumen whatsoever. it just means his recent attempts to combine a right-wing partisan agenda with running this particular company is failing. there are also some wider trends. so to be accurate or fair, there's the point that twitter is still built on the old arcane follow-based social network where users seek out accounts they want to follow, like facebook. tech writer taylor lawrence explains this -- the most popular kinds are not those ones. under that analysis, again, whether you use these social media devices or not,
