Meta clearly sees an opportunity.

    This will be the Holy land of astroturfing.

    And expect a lot of AI posts generated by meta to “prime the pump” (do you like the expression? I invented it)

    This is their communication:

    Threads is where communities come together to discuss everything from the topics you care about today to what’ll be trending tomorrow. Whatever it is you’re interested in, you can follow and connect directly with your favorite creators and others who love the same things — or build a loyal following of your own to share your ideas, opinions and creativity with the world.

    Buzzwords, buzzwords everywhere.

    trending, connect, community, creator, love, loyal, following, share, discuss, care

    What it doesn’t say is that the core of the system will be to feed you ads, the right ads, for the political party that want to connect with you. You will never know whether or not the person you follow is a human, or if his followers are human. This will be an industrial secret.

      Anyone foolish enough to use this platform, is foolish enough to never even question who they’re talking to.
