On July 3, 2023, Musk announced that users would need to be verified to use TweetDeck, which means they will have to pay to verify their accounts.
Additionally, users now have a limit of tweets they can see per day on Twitter.
Threads, on the other hand, is marketed as free, giving customers the freedom to microblog any way they want without any charge.

According to Downdetector, reports in the US and UK are down.
In the UK, fewer than 50 users are reporting issues, while in the US, fewer than 300 people are now reporting issues.
It comes after more than 1,900 Instagram users had issues with the app after the social media platform began experiencing issues on Wednesday.
