- The app will be available in more than 100 countries.
- Meta plans to skip launching the app in the EU due to regulatory concerns.
As an increasing number of users attempt to find a viable alternative to Twitter, Meta is striking while the iron is hot and launching its own Twitter competitor called Threads. Set to go live on Thursday, the app will roll out in a variety of countries, but will reportedly skip any in the EU.
According to a report from Bloomberg, Meta’s Thread app won’t launch in the EU due to regulatory concerns. It appears the sticking point has to do with how the app will share data between it and Instagram.
