Was Threads banned, why was it closed in Turkey?
Access to the Threads application in Turkey was suspended as of April 29 due to the temporary injunction decision taken by the Competition Authority. In the statement shared by Meta, it was stated that data sharing between Threads and Instagram was prohibited. This makes it impossible to use the application in Turkey.
In the statement on the subject, “Due to the decision of the Competition Board, Threads will not be available to people in Turkey as of April 29, 2024. Your Threads profile will be disabled, but you can download your information and delete your profile at any time. “We value the Threads community in Turkey and hope to return soon.”
