Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta, has announced that the social media platform Threads, which aims to compete with X, is now available in the European Union (EU). However, it is launching in the EU five months later than in other countries, according to previous reports.
The reason for Threads’ delayed availability in the EU has not been disclosed by Meta. However, it is speculated that there are several regulations imposed by the EU that Meta must adhere to. One crucial aspect is allowing users in the EU to choose between creating a profile linked to their existing Instagram account or starting a new profile altogether.
Previously, Meta had introduced an ad-free subscription package specifically for EU countries. This was done to comply with regulations and provide users with the option to avoid advertisements on the platform.
TLDR: Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta has launched the social media platform Threads in the EU, albeit five months later than in other regions. The delay is likely due to EU regulations that Meta must follow, including allowing users to connect their Instagram accounts or create new profiles. Additionally, Meta had introduced an ad-free subscription package for EU users to comply with regulations and accommodate users who prefer an ad-free experience.
