Sure there is... stop using Facebook.

Norwegians are European and they don't have the ban on Threads.

Now I think they should be using VPNs.

You should try actually reading the article.

The subject is Threads users having their posts shown on Facebook. So they don't need to be using Facebook. Only Threads.

That being said, it's sound advice for all Meta products.
