“We think there is a need for a dedicated area where public personalities and creators may offer timely information about their interests.”
Meta may profit off the current upheaval at the Elon Musk-led company, where cost-cutting has been rampant, by developing a Twitter-like software.
Since Elon Musk took control of the social media network late last year, Twitter has struggled to maintain its advertising base.
