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 about the data collected by the service no matter the use case. It doesn’t even have to be stored, even if you are just temporarily processing the data you have to put it on your privacy policy / app transparency report on respective platforms. However, it’s just a form you fill and submit, unless being deeply investigated, you can put anything there and get through the review process until someone spots something out. Then you may have to pay hefty fines
