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.
