Twitter is threatening to file a lawsuit against Meta over its new Threads platform, accusing it of poaching former employees to create a 'copycat' app.

'Twitter intends to strictly enforce its intellectual property rights, and demands that Meta take immediate steps to stop using any Twitter trade secrets or other highly confidential information,' Twitter lawyer Alex Spiro wrote in a letter obtained exclusively by Semafor.

'Twitter reserves all rights, including, but not limited to, the right to seek both civil remedies and injunctive relief without further notice to prevent any further retention, disclosure, or use of its intellectual property by Meta.'

The social-media platform owned by Elon Musk threatened legal action the same day Meta went live with Threads.

Meta creator Mark Zuckerberg painted Threads as a Twitter rival and has seen 30 million people sign-up in the first day.

Spiro accused Meta of hiring dozens of former Twitter employees who 'had and continue to have access to Twitter's trade secrets and other highly confidential information.'

He also claimed Meta assigned those staffers to create 'Meta's copycat 'Threads' app with intent to use Twitter's trade secrets and other intellectual property in order to further the development of Meta's competitor.

He alleges this is in violation of both state and federal law as well as those employees 'ongoing obligations to Twitter.

Elon Musk ki lo de? Don't be scared of competition nau!!

But seriously, Twitter no get rival sha. I rather stick to Thread than Instagram. Both look the same to me. Same people you're following and people following you. I think Instagram traffic will reduce though.

Competition us allowed, Twitter should brace up to hold up it's fans.

Dead on arrival. It will be extremely difficult to prove that the design of Thread is an intellectual property of Twitter.

The end of the blue app has come
