A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Privacy experts point out that Meta has put the launch of Threads in the European Union on hold because it’s unclear whether the way the company handles user data and shares it across different platforms, including Threads, will run afoul of impending privacy regulations.

The internet at large pretty much self-selected years ago into a camp of people who won't touch anything Meta makes and another that finds zero privacy and inciting genocide to be a fair trade for "all" this "outstanding" "free" "content."

Who's the intended audience for this story?

Not sure about "intended", but as a curious cat from the EU, this story let me know that I can't even try it out yet, even if I wanted.
