It would appear Threads will collect an amount of private data that is illegal in the EU, and is just launching in countries with more lax laws 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 https://m.independent.ie/business/technology/no-instagram-threads-app-in-the-eu-irish-dpc-says-metas-new-twitter-rival-wont-be-launched-here/a1927220337.html

@simonwood Gdpr compliance is quite a lot of work on the infrastructure and legal level. I assume they try to make the most of twitters failings this week, it makes sense that they are willing to pay the price of EU market for that - and if it created gdpr backlash all the better?

So I slightly agree, but overall their reasons might be a bit more mundane.
