Twitter is threatening to sue Meta over concerns about its new Threads app, according to a letter obtained by Semafor. In the letter, which is addressed to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Twitter lawyer Alex Spiro argues that Meta used Twitter’s trade secrets and intellectual property to build Threads.

Spiro, who is also Elon Musk’s personal lawyer and a partner at the Quinn Emanuel law firm, claims that Meta hired “dozens” of ex-Twitter employees to develop Threads, which wouldn’t be all that surprising given just how many people were fired following Musk’s takeover.

But according to Twitter, many of these former workers still have access to Twitter’s trade secrets and other confidential information. Twitter alleges that Meta took advantage of this and tasked these employees with developing a “copycat” app “in violation of both state and federal law.”

As a result, Twitter is threatening legal action in the form of “both civil remedies and injunctive relief.” It also “demands that Meta ta

  • For me That defeats the basic principles of the whole Fediverse. If a single instance gets very big and then corporatized, then what will happen? Will they get defederated too? Then at that point it's just a bunch of seperate web forums. If Fediverse gets big, corporations will come sooner or later. Lemmy/Kbin need to survive on its own. Also current situation should not be compared to xmpp. From the article it would seem that they didn't had a userbase large enough to sustain themselves which is not the current situation with Fediverse. Google tried EEE with AMP also and failed.

  • You are absolutely right. Really getting tired of that one post about how to destroy the Fediverse. XMPP and lemmy/kbin comparison are not equivalent. XMPP didn't have enough users to sustain themselves in the first place. Also google tried the same with AMP and failed.

    'I knew Titanic submarine imploded on Monday and rescue was a 'charade', says James Cameron

    Titanic director and submersible expert James Cameron said he predicted Titan's implosion days before the debris from the missing submersible was found, calling the search a 'prolonged nightmarish charade'. Mr Cameron, who has visited the world's most famous seawreck 30 times, said the tragedy this week has parallels with the the Titanic disaster, where the captain repeatedly ignored warnings about an incoming iceberg but carried on at top speed. A remote operated submarine from a Canadian ship found debris on the ocean floor. But search and rescue officials say the men likely died on Sunday - before military planes using sonar buoys detected what they thought could have been SOS 'banging' sounds in the water. The US Navy said they heard a sound consistent with an implosion when communications were lost around two hours after they dived. The Navy passed on that information to the Coast Guard, an insider said.
