Eh, I don't think any one company can own the concept of microblogging. If Twitter and Tumblr both existed for a long time and there were no lawsuits then this is just a nothing burger, no?
Spiro's letter complains about Meta hiring some of the many workers who were laid off or resigned from Twitter in the eight months since Musk bought the company.
"Over the past year, Meta has hired dozens of former Twitter employees... these employees had and continue to have access to Twitter's trade secrets and other highly confidential information," Spiro wrote in the letter to Zuckerberg. The workers, he alleged, "owe ongoing obligations to Twitter," and many "have improperly retained Twitter documents and electronic devices."
"We fired a bunch of people and you hired them to build the same thing they built for us! Not fair not fair!"
I'm curious if it's referring to NDAs maybe? That would imply some form of obligation to maintain secrets I guess. Otherwise yeah, makes no sense to me
It's like watching two people you hate fight, Wait it's actually exactly that.
Anyway, I'm not rooting for anyone to win, I just want to see a good bloody match where both sides get some good hits in and lose some teeth.
No, many suspect that’s caused by Musk not paying his Google cloud bill and his services being downgraded as the first step Google takes when they want a customer to pay them.
Musk put up the login only view of Twitter and immediately caused Twitter’s own DDoS because that screen would keep trying to load tweets even though it couldn’t, repeatedly and very quickly.
Musk also blamed this action on data scrapers, but people see the timing of this as too coincidental for it not to be the Google cloud thing.
Musk also backed off when he realized Twitter was disappearing from Google as it could no longer index Tweets.
