Meta Platforms rolled out Threads in Europe, months after the
Facebook and Instagram parent launched the microblogging app in the
U.S.
Meta Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg announced the launch
Thursday on Threads, writing that "we're opening Threads to more
countries in Europe."
Last month, The Wall Street Journal reported that Meta planned
to launch Threads in Europe in December in its largest market
expansion since its debut in July.
Upon its initial launch, Threads became available to most
markets worldwide, but Meta withheld launching in the European
Union because of the bloc's regulations for online services, which
are among the toughest in the world.
