Meta's Threads App Set for EU Launch on December 14

The launch follows a delay due to compliance issues with the EU's Digital Markets Act.

Meta's social media app Threads is set to launch in the European Union on December 14, according to a countdown timer visible to EU users on the Threads website and Instagram app.
The launch in the EU was delayed due to compliance issues with the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA), which enforces stricter rules on user consent and data protection.
Specific details about which EU countries will have access to Threads on the launch date are not yet known.
Threads was initially launched in July in countries like the US and UK, but faced a sharp drop in user engagement due to limited features on the platform.
Meta has been adding new features to Threads, including searchable topics and an edit button, in an effort to boost user engagement.
