Meta, formerly known as Facebook, has acknowledged that it is preventing European Union (EU) citizens from accessing its social media platform, Threads, using virtual private networks (VPNs).
Users in the EU noticed they could not post on Threads, prompting industry analyst Matt Navarra to seek clarification from Meta. In a statement to Navarra, the tech giant admitted to implementing measures to prevent access to Threads from EU countries, including blocking VPNs commonly used to bypass online restrictions.
