The terms are prompting some longtime users of the service, both celebrities and everyday people, to post that they are taking their content to other platforms.

That same month, Meta said Threads had nearly 275 million monthly users. Here are some of the noteworthy changes in X's new service terms and how they compare with those of rivals Bluesky and Threads.
