    Did someone expect otherwise? That may be why they’re not in EU yet, that should be (legally) impossible under GDPR.

      I was under the impression GDPR only has to do with personal information, like email. And that threads just doesn’t have authorization yet.

        What you post is also a personal information. And while it’s required for the service to function (meaning they don’t need your permission to store it), they need your permission to use it for marketing purposes, which is pretty much the only reason Meta would even want your data.

          Hmm. This is interesting. I wonder if simply promoting federated posts in an algorithmic feed counts as marketing as it is being displayed next to ads.

          Will be interesting what approach the EU takes in enforcing GDPR for federated apps.
