Twitter has threatened legal action against Meta over its new, text-based app called Threads, according to a letter obtained by Semafor.
Silvio Berlusconi has left control of his media empire to his two eldest children. Italian media reported details of his will on Thursday saying he also bequeathed 100 million euros of his estimated 5-billion-euro fortune each to his companion and his brother.Andrew Tate has lost an appeal against a court’s earlier decision to keep him under house arrest.
In the letter, which Semafor first reported on Thursday, Spiro said that Twitter “intends to strictly enforce its intellectual property rights” — and noted the company’s right to seek civil remedies or injunctive relief. He added that the letter marked a “formal notice” for Meta to preserve documents relevant for a potential dispute between the companies.
Musk hasn’t directly tweeted about the possibility of legal action, but he has replied to several snarky takes on the Threads launch. The Twitter owner responded to one tweet suggesting that Meta’s app was built largely through the use of the copy and paste function, with a laughing emoji. Success for the app isn’t guaranteed, of course. Industry watchers point to Meta’s track record of starting standalone apps that were later shut down, for example, and note that Threads is still in its early days — so time will tell.
