WASHINGTON — Twitter threatened to sue Meta just hours after the Instagram parent company launched Threads, an app it hopes will beat out the struggling site owned by Elon Musk.
In a letter to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, published by online news outlet Semafor on Thursday , Mr Musk’s lawyer Alex Spiro accused the company of"unlawful misappropriation of Twitter's trade secrets and other intellectual property".
Mr Zuckerberg's latest move against Mr Musk further heightened the rivalry between the two multibillionaires who have even agreed to meet for hand-to-hand combat in a cage match. Within a few hours, more than 30 million people had downloaded Threads, Mr Zuckerberg said on Thursday. On Threads, Mr Zuckerberg wrote:"It'll take some time, but I think there should be a public conversations app with 1 billion+ people on it."Threads was introduced as a spin-off of Instagram, giving it a built-in audience of more than two billion users and sparing the new platform the challenge of starting from scratch.
"Twitter users are desperate for an alternative, and Mr Musk has given Mr Zuckerberg an opening," she added. The company has been criticized for its handling of personal data, the essential ingredient for targeted ads that help it rake in billions of dollars in profits.
