However, Twitter is experiencing financial problems as an advertising-reliant business. Musk claimed weeks after buying Twitter that daily active user numbers had reached an all-time high of more than 250 million. Twitter has had a tumultuous time under Musk’s leadership, although the Tesla boss has insisted the platform’s userbase has not declined since he bought the business in October. In theory, this would allow users of the new Meta app to take their accounts and followers to apps supported by ActivityPub, such as Mastodon.Īccording to earlier reports, the app will be based on Instagram and users will be able to sign in with their Instagram username and password, with their followers, user bio and verification transferring over to the new app.Ĭox said the app was aiming for “safety, ease of use, reliability” and giving creators a “stable place to build and grow their audiences”.Ī screenshot of the app published by the Verge showed a similar interface to Twitter’s, with blue ticks, profile pics and like, reply and retweet buttons.

I guess that was the problem.The report said Meta’s chief product officer, Chris Cox, told an internal meeting on Thursday that the app was the Facebook and Instagram owner’s “response to Twitter”.

"I'm getting a lot of 'congratulations' replies to this," Mark MacKinnon, a senior international correspondent for The Globe and Mail, tweeted of the sanction against him. "A funny thing happened to me on the way to work today," Kevin Rothrock, a managing editor in Connecticut for the Meduza news website covering Russia, tweeted shortly after he was included on the list Thursday. ![]() Several of the sanctioned reporters on the list commented on the Russian travel ban on social media. Notably, the list did not include the names of top US business leaders like Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal or Google CEO Sundar Pichai, even though Twitter and YouTube, which is owned by Google, have been proactive in handling Russian misinformation. The sanctions are unlikely to have any significant effect on Zuckerberg or any of the people on this list other than stopping them from visiting Russia. The ministry said it identified the people as responsible for shaping "the Russophobic agenda" in the US, according to a translation. Russia's foreign ministry said the people would be denied entry into Russia on an "indefinite basis," according to an Insider translation of the ministry's press release. The travel ban includes top Pentagon officials, US business leaders, and journalists, including Vice President Kamala Harris, LinkedIn CEO Ryan Roslansky, and the ABC reporter George Stephanopoulos. The sanctions were imposed in retaliation for Western sanctions against Russia for its invasion of Ukraine.
