@demvoter @fulelo Are we finally going to see those "Brexit benefits" and get Threads accounts in the UK before those boring Europeans? 🤣

    Just going to remind you that we STILL don't have the fancy Instagram messaging in the UK because of the GDPR. Not sure how exactly the GDPR is hampering us being able to react to a message with more emoji than just a heart, or be able to reply to specific messages - but thats what Instagram claim is the reason it's not available anywhere that has the GDPR
