Twitter is threatening to sue Meta over Threads | Semafor

The threat suggests that Threads is the most serious rival yet to Elon Musk's chaotic social platform.

#Bluesky, which directly competes with Twitter, has hired Twitter employees & all 3 Board members worked at Twitter. Bluesky has plainly been using Twitter IP, trade secrets & confidential information to accelerate its development. The attraction to its users is that it is basically a copycat clone of Twitter - but Musk has never made a peep about it. And never will.

That should tell perceptive journalists & observers something very important about Bluesky

@chargrille @mmasnick Someone might think he is using twitter to feed his silkworm, and meta is trying to prey upon it while in the cocoon. Cool.
Just because twitter is too complex for reshaping at his whim.
