TWITTER has reportedly threatened to sue Meta over its new “lookalike” Threads app.

Mark Zuckerberg’s so-called “Twitter killer” app launched this week and already has more than 30million subscribers.

Threads – which is an offshoot of Instagram – is a text-based app that directly rivals Twitter.

Now Semafor reports that Twitter has accused Meta of “poaching” former employees to create its app.

Lawyers for Twitter reportedly sent a letter to Meta chief Mark Zuckerberg personally, accusing the company of intellectual property theft.

We’ve asked Meta for comment and will update this story with any response.
