由於數據共享和壟斷擔憂，Meta 暫停了土耳其的線程

Meta 將於 4 月 29 日起在土耳其停止使用其訊息應用程式 Threads。土耳其競爭管理局 (TCA) 發布禁令，禁止與 Instagram 自動分享數據，聲稱這種做法違反了競爭法，並為 Meta 帶來了不公平的優勢。 Meta 選擇撤回 Threads，而不是改變其與 Instagram 的集成，並鼓勵用戶停用或刪除其帳戶。該決定是在土耳其持續進行監管審查之後作出的，其中包括 2022 年因涉嫌資料共享違規行為而處以的罰款。

Meta Shuts Down Threads in Turkey Amid Data-Sharing Backlash and Competition Concerns

由於數據共享的強烈反對和競爭擔憂，Meta 關閉了土耳其的線程

ISTANBUL, Turkey - Meta has pulled the plug on its Threads app in Turkey, bowing to a court injunction that halted the automatic data-sharing between Threads and Instagram, raising concerns about dominant market practices and user privacy.

土耳其伊斯坦堡 - Meta 已在土耳其停止了 Threads 應用程序，屈服於法庭禁令，該禁令停止了 Threads 和 Instagram 之間的自動數據共享，引發了人們對主導市場行為和用戶隱私的擔憂。

The Turkish Competition Authority (TCA), the nation's antitrust watchdog, had issued an interim injunction against Meta alleging that the linking of Threads and Instagram without user consent "will lead to irreparable harms." The TCA also accused Meta of "abusing its dominant position" in the industry by implementing such a practice, suggesting that the linking's primary purpose was to bolster the company's "market power."

土耳其競爭管理局 (TCA) 作為國家反壟斷監管機構，已對 Meta 發出臨時禁令，聲稱未經用戶同意連結 Threads 和 Instagram「將導致無法彌補的損害」。 TCA 還指責 Meta 通過實施此類做法“濫用其在行業中的主導地位”，並暗示該鏈接的主要目的是增強該公司的“市場力量”。

Rather than altering the integration between the two platforms within the Turkish market, Meta has opted to shut down Threads altogether. The company has labeled this a temporary measure while it challenges the injunction, but no timeline for an appeal has been provided. In the interim, Meta has advised its Turkish users to either deactivate their accounts or delete them entirely. Those who choose to deactivate will have their posts and interactions restored "if Threads returns" to the country.

Meta 並沒有改變土耳其市場內兩個平台之間的集成，而是選擇完全關閉 Threads。該公司在對該禁令提出質疑時已將此標記為臨時措施，但未提供上訴時間表。在此期間，Meta 建議土耳其用戶停用其帳戶或完全刪除它們。那些選擇停用的人「如果 Threads 返回」該國，他們的帖子和互動將恢復。

Meta's automatic data-sharing practices between Threads and Instagram have faced scrutiny not only from Turkish regulators but also from privacy advocates and users worldwide. The platforms were initially so tightly integrated that users could not delete a Threads account without also deleting their Instagram account, a practice that Meta eventually patched.

Meta 在 Threads 和 Instagram 之間的自動資料共享做法不僅面臨土耳其監管機構的審查，還面臨全球隱私倡導者和用戶的審查。這些平台最初整合得非常緊密，以至於用戶無法在不刪除 Instagram 帳戶的情況下刪除 Threads 帳戶，Meta 最終修復了這種做法。

Additionally, Meta has been accused of promoting Threads posts on Facebook and Instagram without user consent, a move that prompted widespread backlash and prompted Meta to introduce an opt-out option. These practices led to the TCA's recent injunction.

此外，Meta 還被指控在未經用戶同意的情況下在 Facebook 和 Instagram 上推廣 Threads 帖子，此舉引發了廣泛的強烈反對，並促使 Meta 引入了退出選項。這些做法導致了 TCA 最近的禁令。

Meta's troubles in Turkey do not end there. The country has previously fined the company $18.6 million for data-sharing across its apps, alleging that it violated Turkish competition laws. TechCrunch reported that Turkey had also demanded that Meta provide documentation detailing its efforts to cease violating these laws, but the Turkish regulators deemed the explanations insufficient, resulting in additional fines of $160,000 per day.

Meta 在土耳其的麻煩還不止於此。該國此前曾因該公司在其應用程式之間共享數據而對其處以 1860 萬美元的罰款，指控其違反了土耳其競爭法。 TechCrunch 報告稱，土耳其還要求 Meta 提供文件，詳細說明其為停止違反這些法律所做的努力，但土耳其監管機構認為解釋不充分，導致每天額外罰款 16 萬美元。

The TCA's actions against Meta underscore the global trend of heightened scrutiny towards Big Tech companies, particularly regarding their data-sharing practices. The injunction and the subsequent shutdown of Threads in Turkey serve as a reminder that companies must adhere to competition and privacy regulations to avoid facing sanctions. Meta's ongoing legal battle in Turkey highlights the complexities of navigating regulatory landscapes in different jurisdictions and the potential consequences for failing to comply.

TCA 針對 Meta 的行動突顯了全球對大型科技公司加強審查的趨勢，特別是在其數據共享實踐方面。該禁令以及隨後土耳其 Threads 的關閉提醒人們，公司必須遵守競爭和隱私法規，以避免面臨制裁。 Meta 在土耳其正在進行的法律鬥爭凸顯了不同司法管轄區監管環境的複雜性以及不遵守規定的潛在後果。
