Folks, the reason #Facebook/ #Instagram/ #Meta/ Zuckerberg hasn’t launched #Threads in the #EU isn’t because the EU is determined to protect your privacy, it’s because the EU is determined to protect The Single Market (peace be upon it) from anticompetitive behaviour. It’s because they’re using Instagram to launch Threads and sharing data between them (and not with EU startups that might want to use that data too). It’s #antitrust, not #privacy. It’s markets, not people.

@aral what? It's privacy too. They don't exclude each other.

@Cinnamon Well yes, we all know how well the EU (especially the Irish DPC) executes GDPR… every time they’re sued into doing so by @noybeu, that is.

@aral @noybeu are they supposed to have mind control or something? You need to report misconduct for them to be able to do anything.
