How long does it take to roll some video akin to tiktok and snapchat into it? Weed out all the bots at the same time by demanding fotoID and root out all the dirtbags abusing the app at the same time. Texting and chatting is so last decade anyway just leave it as a remnant of its birdie roots.

If it fails Meta will likely have to be broken up, their monopoly on social media is outrageous these days.

Fuck that, you'll also exclude most EU countries since that's an overreach of privacy.

If it kills Twitter and Meta get a hit at the same time, it's only a win.

They don't want to do that. That would destroy a significant chunk of their userbase and make X look weaker.

As if it doesn't deserve it already, regardless?

What’s the point of copying TikTok? Given Elongs record, it would be done haphazardly and badly. But even if they pull it off, the audience won’t switch over. Or else they’d come back to instagram when they added TikTok features.
