Jul 7, 2023

Twitter has been plagued with issues ever since Elon Musk took over. The microblogging platform has also introduced a host of changes since then. Yesterday Mark Zuckerberg-led Meta officially released a new social media platform called Threads. It is the talk of the town right now and recorded a whopping 48 million sign-ups in a single day. Now, Twitter has notified Meta of the potential lawsuit action over Threads.

Twitter threatens Meta with a legal action

Threads is somewhat similar to Twitter. It is positioned toward users looking for a Twitter alternative. Threads is essentially a text-based conversation app that is linked to Instagram.

With Meta’s Threads and Twitter being pretty much the same, the latter has issued a legal letter addressed to Mark Zuckerberg about their intent to take legal action. The move comes after Threads is said to have garnered 48 million users within the first day. Meta CEO Zuckerberg has been accused of “unlawful misappropriation of Twitter’s trade secrets and intellectual property”. The letter reveals that Meta intentionally hired dozens of former Twitter employees who had access to the company’s confidential information. Meta used this to their advantage in developing the Threads app.

The letter also bluntly described Threads as a Twitter ‘copy-cat app’. Leveraging trade secrets and intellectual property are deemed as violation of state and federal laws. The letter also mentions that Meta is not allowed to crawl or scrape Twitter’s data.

Meta’s Communication Director refuted Twitter’s claims and stated that no person on Thread’s engineering team has worked with Twitter before.
