It’s like a little glimpse of missing the party. While the rest of the world has been using Threads for a few days now, Meta’s new social network, which is supposed to eclipse Twitter, remains on the sidelines of France and the European Union. At issue is the RGPD, which the platform must comply with if it wants to expand to the Old Continent, which obviously takes some time.
According to a question asked by a French Internet user during an FAQ session on Instagram boss Adam Mosseri’s account, it’s clear that for some it’s just too much time. “We want Threads in France, when can we expect to get it? », asks for the second. The response of the person concerned may disappoint the most impatient of you.
No Topic in France for a few months
” Unfortunately […] It will take time to ensure we comply with future laws in 2024”, Explains Adam Mosseri. “I think as a development team we should focus less on the United States. But it turned out to confirm [tout est en ordre]Unfortunately, we will have to wait a few more months. »
So a few months, without further details, this is the window where the boss of Instagram left us. It’s not hard to imagine a launch for 2024, we still have less time to reach that timeline. Very bad news for users hoping to finally find an alternative to Twitter.
Note that, despite a short hiatus, Threads is now completely unavailable in France, even with a VPN. Moreover, the situation is not going well for the social network Meta, which has already lost half of its daily active users.
