In the new deal, Disney will have a dedicated destination within the app where Disney fans can watch videos from Disney’s brands, create their own with Disney’s music and special effects, play Disney-themed trivia, and collect “Character Cards” of their favorite players. This Disney hub is beyond the normal Pulse Premiere partnership, offering a unique destination for Disney fans, launching today!

All the latest from Threads
Lots of Threads updates this week! Firstly, the app is finally developing a DM feature. It’s also preparing to launch Trends – a screenshot of the new feature was accidentally leaked last week, showing a numbered list of trending topics and how many “threads” were actively discussing each item.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has announced that Threads is rolling out an edit button. This new feature will allow users to edit posts within five minutes of posting. Previously, you have had to delete a post and repost it when you want to correct a typo.
X changes its public interest policy to redefine ‘newsworthiness’
X has changed its “Public interest expectations” policy to redefine which posts are newsworthy. The earlier policy said only verified accounts would be considered for newsworthy posts, but since the new subscription under Elon Musk’s leadership, the new version of the policy says posts only by “a high-profile account” counts as a newsworthy post. The updated page doesn’t give any details on what kind of accounts are considered “high-profile.”
X has also announced updates to Community Notes fact-checks, including improvements focused on speeding up the pace and other changes designed to alert users when notes were added to posts they liked, replied to, or reposted.
