The amount of misinformation on Mastodon around Threads and the EU is a great demonstration of how motivated reasoning is not a problem only for commercial social media platforms.

@alex It certainly seems more nuanced than most are making out. Can you recommend any good coverage? I'm particularly curious as to why they're launching here in the UK but not the EU, given that we still have the GDPR,
usually cited as the blocker.

@robhague Because it's not GDPR, it's ambiguity in the requirements on a VLOP when launching a new platform under the DMA, which does not apply to the UK.
