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.

@parismarx I don’t have any other expectations for Threads, their “privacy” is laughable (not allowed in the EU yet, amirite) and the app is pretty klunky and limited. So I won’t be using it for much, but it’s a way to say FU to Elmo, innit?
