Folks, the reason #Facebook/ #Instagram/ #Meta/ Zuckerberg hasn’t launched #Threads in the #EU isn’t because the EU is determined to protect your privacy, it’s because the EU is determined to protect The Single Market (peace be upon it) from anticompetitive behaviour. It’s because they’re using Instagram to launch Threads and sharing data between them (and not with EU startups that might want to use that data too). It’s #antitrust, not #privacy. It’s markets, not people.
@aral both are top issues
@M8_ Yes, they are. All I’m saying is that one is a deal breaker for the European Commission and one isn’t.
@aral understand, i see the antitrust is a business or more market respective, regarding fairness and freedom, privacy is more on Human rights side, mostly written in democracy country constitutions..thanks for sharing
