Meta is blocking EU-based users from accessing Threads via VPN

After multiple EU-based users complained about not being able to access Instagram’s Threads app through VPN, Meta said it is blocking such efforts.

The company launched Threads last week, but given privacy concerns around the app, it is not available in the EU. The company said in a statement that it has applied further measures to stop users from accessing the new social app.

“Threads is currently unavailable in most European countries and we have taken further measures to prevent people from those countries accessing threads. Europe continues to be a very important market for Meta and we hope to be able to bring Threads to more countries in the future,” it said in a statement provided to social media consultant Matt Navarra.
