The number of Threads users has exceeded 70 million, and the person in charge said that users are not encouraged to publish "hard news"

CTOnews.com July 8 news, according to The Verge, Meta's Twitter competitor Threads has continued to surge in user registration since it was launched. According to Zuckerberg, as of yesterday afternoon US time, the number of Threads registrations had exceeded 7000 million.

Adam Mosseri, the head of Instagram, has also been active on Threads since its launch. In response to questions from the media, he said Threads does not want to get too close to hard news.

"there are enough amazing content communities, such as sports, music, fashion, beauty, entertainment, etc., to help Threads build a vibrant platform without dabbling in politics or hard news," Mosseri said. Analysts point out that his speech may be reflected in his experience in managing the Facebook News Feed business.

"hard news" is a term in western journalism, which refers to the serious subject matter, focusing on ideological, instructive and intellectual political, economic and scientific and technological news. In recent years, Meta has distanced itself from hard news, including reducing the amount of political content users see on Facebook.

CTOnews.com has previously reported that Meta has begun to try to completely block the supply of hard news in some countries as more and more European and American countries begin to seek to charge news citation fees from big platforms such as Meta and Google. In Canada, for example, Meta has decided not to provide news services through Facebook and Instagram.
