European football teams, media like Le Monde and Agence France-Presse and other organizations on the continent have found a way to get Meta Platforms Inc.’s new Threads app, even though the company hasn’t launched it in the European Union.
Verified accounts for French media companies Le Figaro and Liberation were posting on the app the day it went live on Thursday as well as left wing French lawmaker Francois Ruffin, who deleted an initial post. German football club RB Leipzig and French peer Saint-Etienne also started posting on Threads, as well as a verified account for Real Madrid player Eduardo Camavinga.

Threads, which according to Mark Zuckerberg had already garnered more than 30 million users after it went live on Thursday morning, won’t be available in app stores in the 27 European Union countries while the company works out how the bloc’s regulations around data use will affect the app, a person familiar with the matter has said.
Still, there are other ways of getting access, such as connecting to the US App Store for the iPhone users, or an Android package kit. Also known as APKs, these programs let Android users download apps manually that aren’t on their Google Play store.
“Our subscribers are all French, it is not complicated to join the app”, said Mickaël Frison, who handles social networks for French daily Liberation. “It is a matter of days or weeks before politicians start to join if the conversation happens there.”
Representatives for the other media groups and football clubs didn’t respond to requests for comment. Ruffin didn’t respond to a request for comment. Real Madrid didn’t immediately respond on behalf of Camavinga.

Meta’s Threads Has 70 Million Signups, Surprising Zuckerberg

Meta Platforms Inc.’s new social media app Threads has garnered 70 million users in just two days after its launch, a sign of enthusiasm that Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg said was “way beyond our expectations.”
Threads launched on Wednesday as an alternative to Elon Musk’s Twitter, which had 237.8 million users as of July 2022, but has also been beset by controversy. On Threads, which closely resembles Twitter’s look, people can post text and links and reply to or repost messages from others. The app will let users port over their existing follower lists and account names from Instagram, Meta’s photo and video-sharing app that counts major brands, celebrities and creators among its more than 2 billion users.
Threads is currently ranked No. 1 among free apps on Apple Inc’s App Store in the US.
“70 million sign ups on Threads as of this morning, ” Zuckerberg said in a post on his Threads account. “That’s way beyond our expectations.”

Within the first milli. Not too bad. Feels the same like when I jumped to the Coli from SOHH on the first day (check my joined date). You know a sinking ship when you see it. 🫡
