Meta confirms it is blocking EU-based users from accessing Threads via VPN
After multiple EU-based users complained about not being able to access Threads app through VPN, Meta confirmed it is blocking such efforts.
It would be interesting to see exactly how Meta is managing to block VPN users. Is it simply a matter of looking up instagram or facebook account related to email addresses used to sign up? Is it evaluating some sort of browser fingerprint? That's assuming VPN users are doing so via desktop, if it's an Android device for example is the OS itself providing information that's not getting obfuscated by the VPN?
