July 9, 2023Last week, the Elon Musk-owned social media platform threatened legal action against Meta Platforms over its new app.
According to news outleft Semafor, Twitter accused the Mark Zuckerberg-owned social media giant of poaching former employees to create a “copycat” application.
Alex Spiro, a lawyer for Twitter 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,” Semafor reported.
Elon Musk said that "competition is fine, cheating is not."
Andy Stone, Meta's communications director, told Semafor that Twitter's accusations are baseless. “No one on the Threads engineering team is a former Twitter employee — that's just not a thing,” he said.
Meanwhile, Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino took a jibe at Threads by tweeting that "We're often imitated -- but the Twitter community can never be duplicated."
