Just going to remind you that we STILL don't have the fancy Instagram messaging in the UK because of the GDPR. Not sure how exactly the GDPR is hampering us being able to react to a message with more emoji than just a heart, or be able to reply to specific messages - but thats what Instagram claim is the reason it's not available anywhere that has the GDPR

I was seeing a lot of people saying that Threads was going up to be the real Twitter killer now, but if it can’t launch in the EU, that’s going to hamper it a lot. But we’ll see - the two biggest twitter markets are the US and Japan, and it’s launching in both. That might be enough to give it a foothold before it can fix it for the EU.
