(Reuters) -Meta Platforms said on Tuesday it was launching the web version of its new text-first social media platform Threads, in a bid to retain professional users and gain an edge over rival X, formerly Twitter.

Threads' users will be able to access the microblogging platform by logging-in to its website from their computers, the Facebook and Instagram owner said.
