Threads is owned by Meta, Mark Zuckerberg’s company, which also has Facebook and Instagram in its portfolio.

According to Zuckerberg, they’ve logged 70 million users since the launch Thursday night. Thread is not currently available in Norway and other EU/EEA countries, due to the region’s strict data protection rules.

The Norwegian Data Protection Agency is concerned with the privacy requirements for threads. says department director Tobias Godin NRK The app gives Meta the ability to monitor users more.
