After multiple EU-based users complained about not being able to access Threads app through VPN, Meta confirmed it is blocking such efforts.

    Not that I’d ever want to touch Threads with a ten-foot pole, but what options would there be to circumvent that sort of intrusion?

      One of the topics I’ve seen become more prevalent in recent years is the idea of limiting your use of privacy addons and softwares, with the aim of trying to prevent your fingerprint becoming too unique.

      For example, there are probably a billion users with 21 inch monitors, running Windows 11, browsing on Google Chrome. Providing them with that information just makes you one more in the bunch, but if you stack up privacy addons you end up creating a more easily identifiable picture of yourself through the hole you created by hiding information.
