Thing is, GDPR also applies in the UK and CCPA applies in California where Threads is active so legally they have to delete your profile regardless of what they say in their FAQ
I think they’re trying to make it like it’s not a separate app, but part of instagram.
Curious, if EU based instances allow interoperability with Threads. Would this be a way for Meta to gather data on EU based users without GDPR compliance, even if Threads itself is not available in the EU?
They can do this already since the content here is mostly public.
True, unless they may want to structure the data they'd prefer to collect maybe? If they become a primary force in this market could they impose their own "standards"? Where other instance admins would enforce locally, just to conform and grow/monetize?
Hmm I wonder why threads is not GDPR compliant...
