Twitter plans to sue Meta for its Thread release, according to Cimaa 4.


The Threads app, which is based on the Instagram platform, has officially been released by Meta. This program is quite similar to the microblogging service Twitter and operates independently. Within less than a day of its launch, the new program was able to draw in more than 30 million users.


In response to the launch of the Threads app, lawyer Alex Spiro sent a letter to the CEO of Meta, accusing his company of stealing Twitter trade secrets and violating intellectual property rights to create the Threads app in an orderly, deliberate, and illegal manner according to the content of the letter.


Spiro added that a significant number of former Twitter employees, who have access to the company's trade secrets and other sensitive information, have been hired by Meta. This knowledge ultimately assisted Meta in creating Threads, which has been compared to a Twitter clone.


Spiro stated in his letter that he had instructed the ex-Twitter employees to utilize the private information at their disposal to hasten the development of Threads. His look indicated that this was against federal regulatory laws.


Twitter's lawyer has threatened legal action against Meta if it continues to use Twitter's proprietary information in the Thread app.


"Competition is a good thing, but cheating is not," Twitter founder Elon Musk responded.


The Meta Andy Stone has denied that any members of the Threads Application Development team work on Twitter.


In previous media reports, Elon Musk reported that more than 6000 workers from Twitter after purchasing the company, and that there are currently about 1500 people working there.
