Meta will not launch its new Twitter rival, Threads, in Ireland or the EU for the foreseeable future.
Meta will not launch its new Twitter rival, Threads, in Ireland or the EU for the foreseeable future.
It is being released in the US and the UK on Thursday of this week as an alternative to Twitter.
If Threads decides to be open for federation with non-Meta instances (which is a huge if, although everybody seems to assume it), maybe this decision might lead to European “normies” joining Mastodon instances just to interact with Threads users.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !technology@lemmy.world
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I’m sad for the people on the other side of the pond :(
As Trump would say: “This is very cool and very legal.” Except it’s not.
And nothing of value was lost.
Eh maybe I would have opened instagram xD
Imagine being sad about this 🤣
Good! Stay out of the EU with your data-stealing apps! 🇪🇺
We are really moving toward the Asian style super-apps…
I’m really happy about EU having RGPD, Twitter is not the best (even more with Musk) but Meta is like, evil.
I’m so glad. I hope it will stay this way. Fuck méta.
