Gregory's Server#Meta's #Threads #Twitter competitor apparently will not be available in the #EU due to #GDPR: it collects too much personal data! What a handicap for them!
Also, many non-EU countries follow GDPR principles as the gold standard, so it's doubtful there as well.
And then we have California with the CCPA and Colorado etc that have similar provisions.
Meta -- why would you cripple your effort like this from the get-go?

@ShadSterling good question. I would expect them to follow a complex strategy, not a simple one, to navigate the evolving regulatory landscape. Sue on some things, stall on others, get fined for something else, simply comply on others, and throw a bone in still others. |
@J12t wasn’t the supposed motivation to claim compliance with EU interoperability requirements? Is this a failure or a sign that they have a different motivation?
