Pretty damning that they can’t even launch #Threads in the EU because it’s privacy is so bad by design.
It’s frustrating to know that so many people are going to use it anyway. But there’s a limit to how much we can wag our fingers at them! https://www.independent.ie/business/technology/no-instagram-threads-app-in-the-eu-irish-dpc-says-metas-new-twitter-rival-wont-be-launched-here/a1927220337.html
@john But it will launch in the UK. Even though I think we still have matching legislation (for now).
I guess one of the "sunlit uplands" of Brexit is that they don't think our legal system has the same teeth or determination to protect its people as Europe has.
Which is true. Especially under the Tories
@john Why the fluppin' fup do they need access to all those things anyway?? Meta's already been shown it can't be trusted with such data. FFS.
