Twitter said it had serious concerns that Meta had engaged in “systematic, willful, and unlawful misappropriation of Twitter’s trade secrets and other intellectual property.”
from Twitter lawyer Alex Spiro to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg on 5 July 2023, a day before Threads rolled out.
The letter went on to allege that Meta had hired “dozens” of former Twitter employees over the last year. The company alleges Meta deliberately assigned some of these employees to develop, in a matter of months, Meta’s copycat “Threads” app with the specific intent that they use Twitter’s trade secrets and other intellectual property.
Twitter wants Meta to take “immediate steps” to stop using Twitter’s trade secrets or highly confidential information.
