Threads isn’t yet running in the EU - and it might never run, as the bloc has stricter privacy rules than most other countries, and it has given Meta a few headaches to cope with in recent years. It’s not the EU that blocked the launch of the app, rather it’s Meta who’s being preemptively careful.
Basically Meta is unsure if EU privacy law will allow them to keep functioning so they just decided to not launch there
Finally, rules working to protect the people as intended. I’m jealous of the EU.
Yet another reason to be annoyed about Brexit
I think it has something to do with them not long ago having been slapped with huge punishment for some other shit they have been doing in the EU
True, Facebook is already in hot waters with EU because of privacy laws, it's no wonder that they're scared of launching Threads there.
