Although the fine is nothing to meta, I guess if more countries follow and they make it permanent it’ll have an impact. Either way a step in the right direction
They’re also fighting the whole of EU for the same reasons. We won’t be getting Threads any time soon either
Good. Fuck meta
I’m glad Threads isn’t available over here. I wouldn’t have signed up either way but I’m sure a lot of people I know would have, so I would’ve been alienated from them.
i don’t support the idea of federating with threads; but as the platform is not available in europe - if they did activate federation, europeans would in theory flock to whatever instance federated with threads. which could be a boon for the wider fediverse; and could earn pixelfed and similar platforms room for competition with instagram etc.
the fine is the less important, the fine is the big deal here. Not because Norway will be big enough to make them to change, but because it can send the example for the EU and other countries and if the rest of the world (I have very little hope for the US to go against a corporation) bans Facebook, then they’ll have to move and change their antics.
