Twitter has taken action against Meta by sending a cease-and-desist letter regarding their newly released app Threads.
According to Semafor News, the letter accuses Meta of unlawfully utilizing Twitter’s trade secrets, alleging that they have employed former Twitter employees who still possess proprietary information.
On Wednesday, Meta introduced Threads, a new app that closely resembles Twitter.
Over the years, Facebook has made various attempts to compete with Twitter, often imitating key Twitter features such as hashtags and trending topics.
Threads received over 30 million sign-ups since launching overnight, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said.
