Meta owns the Instagram and Facebook networks and the WhatsApp messaging and calling mobile application.

According to the American digital newspaper Politico, the new social network will not be available in the EU for the time being, since Meta, founded by tycoon Mark Zuckerberg, fears non-compliance with data protection regulations in the community space.

On Tuesday, Elon Musk rushed to criticize Threads, saying that the social network will collect all kinds of data from users, including identity, health and fitness, financial, location, purchases, contacts and “sensitive information”.
