Menlo Park The Twitter competitor app from the Facebook group Meta will initially not be available in the European Union. In the United States, the Twitter copy, called Threads, linked to Meta’s photo and video service Instagram, launches on Thursday. Instagram refers to still open regulatory issues in the EU. However, one will constantly check whether the app can also be offered in Europe.

Threads is considered to be Twitter’s closest potential rival because the app draws on the network of hundreds of millions of already connected Instagram users. Other Twitter competitors have yet to build such links.

Twitter has been in crisis since the takeover of the short message service by tech billionaire Elon Musk. Among other things, the advertising revenue that Twitter used to finance itself is missing after the migration of advertisers. Musk also recently annoyed users with a limit on the number of tweets you can view per day.
