Instagram head Adam Mosseri says pretty conclusively they don’t want Threads to be the new app for news and journalists. Makes sense given Meta is threatening to pull news in Canada and California.

Ultimately, Threads is a sanitized space for brands, grifters, and celebrities — all designed to sell you more shit.

"verticals"

So that's a noun now ?

@PariaSansPortefeuille @parismarx has been for a while. It’s a business term that basically means “a specific niche interest, from bottom to top.” Its use here means that @mosseri has forgotten that he’s speaking to real people.
