Threads usage drops as Meta blocks VPN access in EU::Move comes as Meta tries to avoid violating privacy laws.
Incredible how thirsty europeans for the Zuck are that they bypass good intentioned privacy laws…
As someone who doesn’t use threads, how does it stand up to something like Lemmy or Reddit? I doubt it’s worth using a VPN to use Threads, but that’s just my assumption.
I still hate the fact that the same people who said that no one is going to adopt a whole new social network in regards to mastodon suddenly changed their minds when the zuck made a worse version of it.

Is it possible for other apps or sites to block VPN access in this way? I was under the impression (possibly incorrectly) that using one would help to avoid such issues.
BBC iPlayer does this all the time
