Crazy week in social networks: Meta, the parent company of Instagram launches Threads, a social network that might destabilize Twitter. What to go to a wrestling fight between Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk, the owner of the network with the little blue bird? Initially a joke, the prospect of this fight panics the web. More discreet, Ushahidi, a platform born in Kenya in 2008, makes it possible to save people in extreme situations, in Haiti, Libya or even in Europe.
Bluesky, Minds, Spill… While these platforms have not yet succeeded in dethroning Twitter, Threads, a social network that has just launched Meta, the parent company of Instagram, has already convinced celebrities Shakira, Jennifer Lopez and even actor Hugh Jackman to join this new social network. If the microblogging site is not yet accessible in Europe, its release revives the prospect of a bare-knuckle fight between Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, and Elon Musk, owner of Twitter. A joke that panics the canvas.

Until a solution is found for the launch of Threads in Europe, Dikalo, a social network created in Cameroon promises not to collect the personal data of its users. For its part, Ushahidi, another platform born in 2008 (“testimony” in Swahili), remains useful and active throughout the world. It proposes to put the participation of its users at the service of the common good, in the event of political unrest, earthquakes or floods.
