Meta is blocking Threads users coming through VPN in Europe
The Meta-owned company is blocking users from the European Union (EU) who are trying to access the Threads app through a VPN. Threads confirmed this information in a statement.
Although Threads was launched last week, the app has not been launched in EU countries due to privacy concerns. Although blocked now, Threads has said it plans to take stronger action later. News Engadget and the Prothom Alo.
A Threads statement said that Threads does not operate in European Union countries. Now more steps will be taken to stop those who try to access threads illegally. The EU market is very important for Meta. We hope that Threads will be officially launched in these countries in the future.
It should be noted that although users in the UK can use the app, due to data protection laws in Ireland, complications have arisen with the launch of Threads in the European Union and Ireland. It is not yet clear when the Threads app will be opened in the EU and Ireland after overcoming this complication.
