More than 30 million people signed up for Meta's new Threads app

Meta's Twitter rival Threads just went live and has already exceeded 10 million signups within the first seven hours, according to (a Thread by) CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Then, as the west coast was waking up, Zuckerberg noted that the app already has more than 30 million sign-ups "as of this morning." The app is now available globally (except in Europe), with the rapid signup pace showing Meta's enormous ability to scale up compared to other Twitter rivals like Bluesky — which still requires invite codes.
