Twitter has written to Meta, threatening legal action in relation to its new app, Threads.

According to report, the app went live on Apple and Android app stores in 100 countries on Wednesday at 2300 GMT and will run without adverts for the time being, although its release in Europe has been delayed due to data privacy concerns.

In a letter signed by Alex Spiro and addressed to Mark Zuckerberg, Twitter said the company “has serious concerns that Meta Platforms (Meta) has engaged in systematic, willful, and unlawful misappropriation of Twitter’s trade secrets and other intellectual property.”

“Twitter intends to strictly enforce its intellectual property rights, and demands that Meta take immediate steps to stop using any Twitter trade secrets or other highly confidential information,” Alex Spiro wrote in the letter.
