Twitter is threatening to sue Meta over its new Threads app less than 24 hours after it launched, as first reported by Semafor. The Elon Musk-owned company is accusing Meta of poaching former Twitter employees to create the new platform.

Threads, which is a text-based platform that is similar to Twitter, has already passed 30 million sign-ups since its debut yesterday evening. Shortly after the platform launched, a lawyer for Twitter, Alex Spiro, sent a letter to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg accusing the social media giant of engaging in unlawful misappropriation of Twitter’s trade secrets and other intellectual property.
