Twitter is threatening Meta with a lawsuit after the blockbuster launch of Meta’s new Twitter rival, Threads — in perhaps the clearest sign yet that Twitter views the app as a competitive threat.
Based on what? I'm pretty sure if similar social media networks weren't allowed to compete with each other, Lemmy and Mastodon wouldn't exist. Not to mention Facebook.
They claim Zuck snatched some Twitter devs from them and used their expertise to develop Threads, the competing part isn't much of an issue on itself, but rather that they could be using code and knowhow acquired from their stay at Twitter.
