This week it became known that Meta Platforms is working on creating a decentralized social network that will compete with Twitter. The day before, one of Elon Musk’s subscribers asked what he thought about Mark Zuckerberg’s plans. In response, the billionaire said that Meta is trying to create a “copy” of Twitter.

CNN journalists were among the first to report on the development of an analogue of Twitter by Zuckerberg’s company. They spoke with a Meta Platforms representative. He stated that the new project aims to create a separate space in which public figures and creators can share their views on a particular issue with each other.
It is worth noting that the Twitter microblogging service was not mentioned by the Meta representative during the interview. Despite this, CNN journalists believe that the new social network is being created by Zuckerberg’s company to compete with Twitter. With the advent of Elon Musk, the company’s business began to go from bad to worse. Since the acquisition of Twitter closed, competing platforms like T2, Post.news, and Mastodon have seen significant growth in their audiences.
