Threads Struggles to Sustain Momentum After Record-Breaking Launch
- Meta's Threads app gained 100+ million users in its first week but has since seen a decline in daily active users and time spent on the app.
- Threads launched without key features like DMs and alt text, leading some early adopters to abandon the platform.
- The app is not available in the EU due to privacy concerns, and VPN workarounds have now been blocked by Meta.
- Threads aims to compete with Twitter but continues to mimic elements like rate limits, drawing criticism from Elon Musk.
- Civil rights groups have warned that Threads could become a hotbed of misinformation without more rigorous moderation from Meta.
