No Instagram Threads app in the EU: Irish DPC says Meta's new Twitter rival won't be launched here
www.independent.ie
Meta will not launch its new Twitter rival, Threads, in Ireland or the EU for the foreseeable future.

Irish DPC says Meta’s new Twitter rival won’t be launched here – But that’s just because it hasn’t been approved for GDPR. It’ll come here of course, just not now.

    It’s amazing to have a contrast available to give perspective to just how much Americans have no problem being exploited and the level to which they are. It’s only by looking at the EU’s standards and the fact that they actually give a shit and haven’t been entirely bought by the rich, that we can see America in the proper light.

    And yet, for whatever reasons, America is totally willing to sell itself out and relinquish every semblance of privacy we have.

      The level of idiocy in my country continually astounds me. I consider myself fortunate to live in one of the seemingly less and less common bubbles of this country that generally speaking actually takes education and critical thinking seriously. It’s hard to watch this race towards ignorance spread like wildfire.
