- Twitter has sent a legal letter to rival platform Threads.
- The letter accuses Threads of “misappropriation” of Twitter’s trade secrets.
- The threat comes after the new Meta platform breached the 30 million signup mark.
Instagram’s Threads platform launched earlier this week, and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg confirmed that 30 million people have signed up for the service at last count. Coincidentally, the platform has now received a legal letter from Twitter.
Semafor reports that a lawyer for Twitter has sent a letter to Zuckerberg, accusing Threads parent company Meta of “systematic, willful, and unlawful misappropriation of Twitter’s trade secrets and other intellectual property.”
