Which meta is denying fwiw.
We’ll see if anything comes of the demand letter, but just sending one doesn’t mean a lot
Twitter Threatens Lawsuit Against Meta Over ‘Copycat’ Threads App
Twitter accused Meta of hiring former employees to make a “copycat” of the Elon Musk-owned social media site, as Meta's Threads app draws millions of sign-ups.
www.forbes.com
"Andy Stone, communications director at Meta, posted that “No one on the Threads engineering team is a former Twitter employee — that’s just not a thing.”"
Yeah, I am not sure turning off peoples badges and firing them remotely was the right play lol leaves a lot of old company property out there.
You've already drawn a conclusion, which is dumb, yes./cloudfront-us-east-2.images.arcpublishing.com/reuters/J5WMJKDQZRMHTP5KQHFWI7HJI4.jpg)
Twitter threatens Threads lawsuit against Meta
Twitter has threatened to sue Meta Platforms over its new Threads platform in a letter sent to the Facebook parent's CEO Mark Zuckerberg by Twitter's lawyer Alex Spiro.www.reuters.com
is this dumb @JP4CY ?
Why didn't you tag the other people who dumbed you, by the way?
Usually, I'm a big @Kagavi fan. But I didn't understand anything he wrote about these "upcoming companies."
I know I'm biased, but I'm the same way. If it's worthwhile, it'll end up on CF. While I have a Facebook and Twitter account, I've never tweeted and never posted anything to Facebook... nor have I logged into them since original signup (just wanted to stake my name so others didn't). They bring out the worst of society.
On a side note - I used to live for news, especially political and geopolitical. I could tell you everything going on in every corner of the world. But I can go to 3-4 websites and see that without getting bombarded with dumbass, uninformed opinions turned into supposed "facts".
I would venture to guess that the average American reads more misinformation than actual news on Twitter or Facebook every day and doesn't know the difference. That's scary.

Agree.
I'm going to stick to Twitter because that's where the people I want to follow (sports reporters, scores, gambling handicappers) are going to be. If that changes, I'll change.
Totally agree. If it’s important in the world it will ride with important CF threads such as Casey’s Thin Crust, Anyone know this Des Moines Patio?, or the one about Hines’ wife pissing on a dead sparrow.
Creating "copycat" websites isn't a legal thing so the cease and desist is BS. Musk has no standing to sue and he knows it. Everything he does is for showmanship, ego, or money. This is for the first of the three. He's nothing more than an informed investor. This is the same guy that even sued Tesla to put him as a founder of the company when he was no such thing. He's a douche.
The way certain people treat him like a cult leader is beyond disturbing. He's proven he doesn't care about free speech and is nothing more than a far right-wing nutcase with a big bank account.
