In a letter to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Twitter’s attorney, Alex Spiro, threatened to sue Meta Platforms over its new Threads messaging app.
By utilising the billions of Instagram users, Meta, which began Threads on Wednesday and has received more than 30 million sign-ups, hopes to compete with Elon Musk’s Twitter.
Spiro charged Meta in his letter of recruiting former Twitter workers who “had and continue to have access to Twitter’s trade secrets and other highly confidential information,” according to the news website Semafor.
“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,” Spiro wrote in the letter.
