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.

@simon_lucy it’s allowed in UK. But how that works with GDPR equivalence? No idea.

Currently we aren't any different, the UK Govt may want to change it but they're out of time on this session.

Meta may be more afraid of some of the regulators in the EU I suppose.
