      good. stay out of Europe. i hope the EU won't let them do business there to protect people from Meta's insane level of data harvesting

        UltraHD, 15 Jul 2023Cool, we i mean i at least don't care about threads an... moreYep - a VERY ugly one at that!

          Finally censorship that I can support. Meta censoring their censorship platform. Ouroboros has started to devour itself.

            AnonD-1073493, 15 Jul 2023well, not a big deal.. at least for me. i never found faceb... moreI have Facebook cause i made it when it was made over decade ago as before the instagram or twitter even existed. It's not like i use the facebook even as it's also full of the brain damage people and is fully supporting the damage people to sensor your freedom of speech by calling you all types of offensive slur that is allowed but should be hate speech.

            I got banned from Asphalt 9 game discord server for saying leave kids out of it in june the month of mental disorders and the reason was hate speech. I dont know what is hate speech in leave kids out of mental disorders. While i have complained to a point that is hate speech on other events in the game and how the developers in there constantly mislead and lie about future events and it was not hate speech te be banned for..

            Basically no warning or anything as first time out of line and banned for life even tough being there over 4 years.

            I would say that on there part it was hate ban

              Everyone who does not care and does not use threads grab the popcorn plop the bottle of whiskey and cheers with me,
              Mark only one thing i have to say to you and your so called copycat of a twitter app.
              My one thing is showing you a middle finger.
              Enjoy.

                You are confusing Europe and EU…

                For anyone who doesn’t know: Europe is a continent like North America, and it includes the UK. It’s a geographical entity. The EU (European Union) is an alliance (in things like economy, currency and legislations, and it’s also there to promote peace within the EU) of SOME European countries, which does not include the UK (besides others like Ukraine). It’s a political entity.

                  Oh my god. No one cares!

                    now block all of social media that affiliated by Meta from EU. the European users are privacy matters

                      well, not a big deal.. at least for me. i never found facebook appealing or twitter or instagram so never made accounts there. same with this threads thingie..

                        People don't seem to know the difference between Europe and the EU, including the wither of this article.

                                      Interesting. I've been using Threads since the launch, without VPN and had no issues at all. I live in Poland. Even checked just now to see if anything changed and not really. Everything still works fine. I can post threads and update my feed without issues.

                                        Why would anyone want to install this? It only exists because Elon wont let governments sensor Twitter any longer... literally a trap for people to read more fake news, be sensored on and have their data used for business without their permission.
