Twitter is threatening legal action against Meta over its new text-based platform, accusing the social media giant of poaching former employees to create a “copycat” application.
On Wednesday, July 5, Instagram parent company Meta introduced Threads, a text-based companion to Instagram that resembles Twitter and other text-based social platforms.
On Thursday, Zuckerberg announced that Threads had already signed up 30 million users in its first day, vastly dwarfing competitors.
Now, a lawyer for Twitter, Alex Spiro, has sent a letter to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg accusing the company of engaging in “systematic, willful, and unlawful misappropriation of Twitter’s trade secrets and other intellectual property.”
