Twitter Threatens Legal Action Over Meta's Popular New Threads App

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/twitter- ... efaada7455

But the Facebook parent company is pushing back, saying in a statement that Twitter's allegation is "just not a thing."

Twitter parent company X Corp. is threatening to sue Meta over its new Threads app as the platform began racking up millions of users upon its Wednesday debut.

A Silicon Valley legal firm representing X Corp. claimed in a letter first reported by Semafor that Meta had “engaged in systematic, willful and unlawful misappropriation of Twitter’s trade secrets and other intellectual property” by poaching its employees.Threads is a text-based competitor to Twitter that was launched as a companion to Meta’s Instagram platform this week. Given all the chaos that has come with billionaire Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter late last year, some observers consider Threads to be a potential “Twitter killer.”

 Musk kicked off his tenure as head of Twitter by slashing the company’s payroll by at least three-quarters, leaving thousands out of a job. Now, some of the former Twitter employees have apparently found work at Meta, according to the letter to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg that was dated Wednesday. Meta is the parent company to Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and several smaller tech platforms.

 Zuckerberg said Thursday — from his new app — that he wanted to see Threads “on a clear path to 1 billion” users and “only then think about monetization.”

 Threads passed 30 million signups overnight, Zuckerberg said.

 Yet the threat of expensive legal action from Twitter may ring hollow, as the company has been repeatedly accused of shirking its bills in recent months. Just this week, a group of former Twitter employees proposed a class action lawsuit alleging the company had failed in its obligation to pay arbitrators’ fees in nearly 900 disputes brought by the ex-workers.

 Zuckerberg appeared to regard the launch of Threads as a metaphorical round in his proposed cage match against Musk. He responded with crying-laughing emojis to various users on Threads who brought up the potential fight.

“We’re only in the opening moments of the first round here,” he wrote.

As it turns out, if you fire people who choke free speech, then allowing for free speech takes less manpower. In short, it takes a lot of resources to be enforce communism, as opposed to just allowing people to be free. LOL!


Jesus stated that all hypocrites are going to hell.
Ode is a hypocrite.
Therefore,  Ode is going to hell.

yeah....check this out....

Musk can buy and sell Mark Suckburger....who buy the way loves to kill animals and gnaw on there flesh.

Angel Studios' "Sound of Freedom" took the top spot in sales July 4th, surpassing Disney's widely panned "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny."

The action film starring Jim Caviezel is based on the true story of former federal agent Tim Ballard and his mission to save children from human trafficking. On its first day, the film took the number one spot at the box office, grossing over $14 million through "pay it forward" and direct box office sales.

The film has reportedly earned nearly all of its budget back on its opening day.

Indiana Jones is a repetitive, tired storyline. Some people just don't know when to lie down and die.
That character is one of them.
Which is dumber?
The audience for Indiana Jones or the **** Fast n Furious crowd?

certain types of stimulus can mesmerize audiences such as watching things that are "fast and furious"....other things are a little more subtle...like "shiny" aluminum foil.


Examples are women and mink

Try it....throw some 'shiny' aluminum on the floor where women congregate and everything stops until you pick it up....it's like a shut off switch to female brain function.

When I was a kid I used to  trap mink by wrapping aluminum foil around the pan of a trap and laying it in shallow ripples in clear water.  **** can't resist it...it's shiny

nawww....I trapped and coon hunted for pelts to sell.....I bought a new car and paid cash by cashing in on fur bearers when I was 16.  Traps, putting up hay were among the more profitable ventures available to kids back then.  Where I grew up you either learned what you needed to learn and prosper or pick **** with the chickens....are you aware that picking **** with the chicken is a real thing?

A year later I traded for a van and some cash....that was the beginning of my let's go see America Days!

Ode to Cock is male.  This is one of the funniest forum posts I have ever seen:

Ode to Joy

I remember a gardening forum that had a political subforum.  They allowed pretty much anything except bad language and sexual content.  

There was a whole lot of White Nationalists that had pretty much taken over that subforum.  The small seed company, that owned the forum, didn't take much notice until they started getting bad reviews and threatened boycotts by offended gardeners.  They shut that down, and later shut down the whole gardening forum.  They certainly didn't want THAT following them around.
