@Blue_London right now, it's geo blocked in Paris. Can you get it in England?

Lol Meta is not launching it in Europe because the EU has stricter privacy laws.
Unless Meta addresses this, it probably won't launch, and that would be a nail in its coffin.
Another reason brexit is awful lmao

Ahhh i see.
For those wanted to read more on what Blue said:
Why is Threads, Meta’s Twitter rival, not launching in the EU?
Meta’s new app has been listed in the US and the UK, but has no foreseeable launch date in the EU yet as the company worries about the bloc’s privacy regulations.
Meta's Threads app is a privacy nightmare that won't launch in EU yet
Meta's planned Twitter killer, Threads, isn't yet publicly available but it already looks like a privacy nightmare...

Show some love, you losers!
From what I've seen it's just Instagram without the photos. The EU isn't missing out on anything here and has every right to be cautious of Meta and their previous track record with privacy (and everything else). The UK keeps taking L's with Brexit out here.

Definitely obviously Facebook is the most influential in terms of audience but then how much influence does it have when it's broken down by age?
Twitter influence was always overstated because it was the quickest method to an opinion.
