Mike Masnick ✅This is dumber than even I could have predicted. https://www.semafor.com/article/07/06/2023/twitter-is-threatening-to-sue-meta-over-threads
Mark H@mmasnick I understand that some companies have a no-compete clause when people leave a company, but I'd like to argue that it can't possibly apply if you've just gone and sacked a whole lot. And as for trade secrets... Really. There's nothing that any software people do that other software people can't work out and replicate, and Facebook's had FriendFeed's IP on its books for years so knows a thing or two about social networks already.
@neonbubble non-competes are unenforceable in california.
author_is_ShrikeTron🔠💉x7@mmasnick @neonbubble Not about non-compete, apparently:
"You don't need a non-compete to bring a.misappropriation claim in CA. It's irrelevant to proving the elements of the cause of action, which is why the Quinn Emanuel letter doesn't even mention non-competes."
