Meta restores Threads in Turkey after regulator lifts data-sharing ban
By
Turkish Minute
Summary
Meta has restored access to Threads in Turkey nearly two years after shutting it down due to an interim measure by the Turkish Competition Authority over data-sharing concerns with Instagram. The authority lifted the measure after Meta introduced changes allowing users to create Threads accounts without linking them to Instagram — either by signing in with Instagram or using a standalone account with just a phone number.
