The downgrade happened because Fitch was worried about how the country is being governed, increasing government deficits, and a possible recession later in the year. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen didn't like the decision and called it "arbitrary," saying that Fitch used old data.
Threads is facing challenges with keeping users engaged. To tackle this, its parent company Meta plans to launch AI chatbots called "personas."
