> On Wednesday, an attorney representing Twitter sent Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg a letter that accused the company of trade secret theft through the hiring of former Twitter employees.

I can't imagine what trade secrets there would be for an app like this that FB of all companies would not already know through their own platform experience.


Well hold on now, how can we be sure they knew how to handle short text strings? I think this requires Meta and Twitter to spend all their money fighting one another in court.


Or a CEO cage match.


Interesting Twitter claiming Meta ‘poached’ staff. That would seem highly unlikely given the scale of firings Elon did… meta could have just picked up a few of the newly unemployed and that is NOT poaching
