Meta Platforms’ Twitter rival Threads crossed 100 million sign-ups within five days of launch.

Experts say Twitter would have to clear a high hurdle if it sues Meta Platforms over copycat app Threads.

Twitter has threatened to sue Meta Platforms over its new Threads platform. Legal experts doubt it would win.

Dubbed as the “Twitter killer”, Threads logged 10 million sign-ups within the first seven hours after its launch.

Mark Zuckerberg on Wednesday launched a direct challenge to Twitter with Threads, garnering millions of users in hours.

Threads, Instagram’s text-based conversation app, is expected to be released on Thursday.

Twitter users will soon need to be verified to use TweetDeck, the social media company said.

The latest turmoil at Twitter appears to be driving a surge in activity at Mastodon, a decentralised, user-driven alternative.

Experts have warned the moves could undermine efforts by new CEO Linda Yaccarino to attract advertisers.

Twitter will now require users to have an account on the social media platform to view tweets.
