Elon Musk Takes Steps to Restrict Threads on Twitter; Here’s why

As he started restricting search results when people tried to locate connections to Threads on the microblogging platform, and as the microblogging platform is presently loaded with links to Threads material, Elon Musk has been taking decisive steps to keep Thread out of its own microblogging site.

The information was made public when a user of Threads said, “Twitter is selectively blocking searches for tweets that link to Threads, even though they allow posting Threads URLs (for now).”

Following that, several more users claimed to be having the same issue, according to The Verge. Users who used the “URL:” search operator to look for links to a particular URL noticed the problem.

It claims that despite several tweets connecting to the site, nobody can find anything when they search “url:threads.net” on Twitter.

Additionally, the IANS report noted that when searching for “threads.net” without the “URL:” operator, dozens of useless results are returned from individuals who have their Threads account in their display name or who discuss Threads without linking to it.

Additionally, users of the Threads software have been griping on Twitter about how the software drains their phone batteries when in use.

Even a user of the Thread App questioned on Twitter, “Is Threads just… murderous to anyone else’s battery?”

I’m not going to use Instagram Threads until it stops consuming my phone’s battery, said another user.

Another Twitter user also posted an image of their Threads account that showed the symbol for low battery life.

The Threads app is depleting users’ phones’ batteries quicker than any other program, according to a user’s tweet.

In fact, many Twitter users have had difficulties while attempting to access the Thread link that is displayed along with the Tweet.
