And it should stay that way.

CJEU declares Meta/Facebook's GDPR approach largely illegal: https://noyb.eu/en/cjeu-declares-metafacebooks-gdpr-approach...

Threads won't launch until compliant with GDPR and Digital Markets Act: https://www.independent.ie/business/technology/no-instagram-...

Not launching in the EU is a massive red flag on the data hoovering ambitions facebook have for threads.

Not really. It just means they don’t want to wait for EU compliance to launch. It’s fairly standard to have an EU lag for feature releases, in the same way there is a lag for releasing certain content in Asia or financial products in the United States.

BTW its not clear if other product like Twitter or Instagram are even compliant, so its not a meta / threads specific thing.
