Meta is temporarily shutting down its social media platform Threads in Turkey to comply with an interim order from the Turkish competition authority. The authority imposed a measure meant to hinder data sharing between Instagram and Threads while investigating possible abuse of Meta's dominant market position.

No, the temporary shutdown of Threads in Turkey will not impact Meta's other social media platforms and services including Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp in the country.

The Turkish competition authority is investigating Meta for possible abuse of the company's dominant market position. Last month, they imposed an interim measure on Facebook's parent company Meta to hinder data sharing between Instagram and Threads during the investigation.
