The social media giant addresses the Turkish competition concerns.
Turkey‘s competition board has concluded its investigation into Meta Platforms regarding data-sharing practices between Threads and Instagram. The inquiry, launched last year over potential competition law violations, ended after Meta addressed concerns through commitments deemed satisfactory by the authority.
Meta pledged that Threads users in Turkey will be able to access the platform without needing an Instagram account, once Threads becomes available again. Additionally, the company assured that data from Threads accounts will not be merged with Instagram unless users explicitly choose to link their profiles.
In April, Meta temporarily suspended Threads in Turkey to comply with an interim order from regulators. The resolution paves the way for the app’s reinstatement while easing concerns over anti-competitive practices.
