Instagram's CEO signaled its new Twitter-like feature wouldn't be a hub for politics in another sign of Meta's efforts to move away from hard news as a revenue stream.
Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri said that Instagram's team would not do anything to promote the discussion of news or politics on Threads, the Twitter-like clone that Meta launched on Wednesday. While news and politics will inevitably end up on Threads, Mosseri notes the company will not make additional efforts to promote news on the platform like it previously had with efforts such as Newsfeed.
Mosseri also emphasized that the end goal of Threads was not to replace Twitter but to"create a public square for communities on Instagram that never really embraced Twitter and for communities on Twitter that are interested in a less angry place for conversations." The Instagram head previously oversaw Facebook's efforts to maintain a News Feed, which may affect his perspective on the matter.Meta has continued to try and distance itself from news content.
Twitter's legal team sent a letter to Meta on Wednesday threatening to sue Meta over allegations that the platform had used Twitter employees to cheat and make a clone. Meta denies the claims, stating that no former Twitter employees were involved in the product's development.
