No Instagram Threads app in the EU: Irish DPC says Meta's new Twitter rival won't be launched here

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.

    What possible reason could a microbloging app need to know my health information? Ignoring everything else about threads - that alone should cause people to pause before using it.

    Maybe if they notified users like, “We’ve detected that your heart rate is elevated and you’re sweating excessively. Maybe don’t engage with @xerses5434 on this political topic, lest you have a heart attack.”
