Alternative title: Musk’s X Corp. threatens to sue Meta over Twitter “copycat” Threads
Tired of hearing about both of them, especially Musk. Like Trump, he wants and uses the negative attention.
So maybe this is why they used ActivityPub. Plausible deniability and accelerated development. Maybe this has nothing to do with the Fediverse. 🤔
I’m rooting for a long drawn out fight.
Wait… that sounded really american, didn’t it. Maybe I should ship lawyers to both sides.
Spiro’s letter complains about Meta hiring some of the many workers who were laid off or resigned from Twitter in the eight months since Musk bought the company.
“Over the past year, Meta has hired dozens of former Twitter employees… these employees had and continue to have access to Twitter’s trade secrets and other highly confidential information,” Spiro wrote in the letter to Zuckerberg. The workers, he alleged, “owe ongoing obligations to Twitter,” and many “have improperly retained Twitter documents and electronic devices.”
“We fired a bunch of people and you hired them to build the same thing they built for us! Not fair not fair!”
The workers, he alleged, “owe ongoing obligations to Twitter,”
What a strange argument. If I work for someone, and they fire me, I still have ongoing obligations to them?
Great, I’ll expect my paycheck to be deposited as usual, then.
…let them fight.
