Did nobody here read the article? This is sensationalized as hell lol. They aren't blocking the app, it just hasn't gone through GDPR approval. They rushed the launch to beat Twitter to a usable product, but it will definitely be released in the EU after they figure all that out.
Just to say that I didn't edit anything to sensationalise it, the headline is the title.
Yeah of course, definitely agree that the title should match the headline and the clickbaity-ness of it isn't your fault lol
And nothing of value was lost.
Oh no! Anyways…
I'm really happy about EU having RGPD, Twitter is not the best (even more with Musk) but Meta is like, evil.
I hope it doesn’t launch in Australia
Imagine being sad about this 🤣
Thank you, EU 🫶
Good! Stay out of the EU with your data-stealing apps! 🇪🇺
Would be nice if they'd stop their other services here too.
Meta can duck right off. Nobody needs them in the EU
Quack
Btw here is a post of all the Data Collection labels the app has in the Apple App Store. Oh what a surprise , it has quite a few.
Wouldn’t normally be a problem and it is not a problem at all since it will be ActivityPub compatible.
I don’t like that. They’re going to support it…pull all their consumers towards it, and then replace it with their own proprietary format, killing ActivityPub. Google did the exact same shit
