Twitter lawyer Alex Spiro has sent a letter to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, warning of potential legal action over their new application, Threads. Spiro alleges that Meta hired ex-Twitter employees with access to confidential information, including trade secrets, to expedite the development of a Twitter-like app. The letter demands that Meta cease using Twitter's trade secrets and preserve relevant documents. It also explicitly prohibits Meta from crawling or scraping Twitter's followers and following data without consent. Meta released Threads, a text-based social network, in 100 countries on July 5, shortly after Twitter faced rate limit issues. Elon Musk voiced support for competition but condemned cheating in a social media post.Twitter Threatens Legal Action Against Meta's Copycat App Threads
