Twitter sends cease-and-desist letter to Meta in anticipation of Threads lawsuit
Elon Musk's Twitter has sent a cease-and-desist letter to Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, in anticipation of a lawsuit over the launch of Instagram's new Threads application.
Twitter has serious concerns that Meta Platforms has engaged in systematic, willful, and unlawful misappropriation of Twitter's trade secrets and other intellectual property
Storing 300 characters in a database is really hard. A small company like Meta could never develop that kind of technology.
look at these genius billionaires fighting over who has the right to let people send limited text and pictures over the internet. The greatest minds of our time.
Did Twitter even have money to pay the lawyers?
I'm not sure that matters to Musk at this point, since he seems to be following the Trump business plan of "Promise richly and then skip out when the bills come due".
Can't they just settle this with the MMA cage match like they were planning to?
Meta will respond with a cease-to-exist request to twitter
Or a letter that says "Come meet me in Italy and square up, lil removed."
I'm starting to believe that Elon wanted to destroy Twitter from the inside since the start. Lots of walking backwards with that social Network, like everything he touches
He just wants the world to know that he knows as much about social media as he does about cars and rockets.
I mean, I guess he succeeded
let them fight!
“I would like to apologize for firing these geniuses. Their immense talent will no doubt be of great use elsewhere.”
-Elon Musk Nov 15, 2022
Yeah, this kinda obstruction from the Trump playbook is all they can do. Maybe it's Kremlin ordering Musk to do that. Who knows?
