Same name, same industry - digital messaging.
If Meta didn’t have a massive amount of money and lawyers, this would be a VERY easy case to win.
Meta decided they wanted the name, tried to buy it, and then opted to knowingly rip it out of a smaller company’s hands. What a bunch of assholes.
Why was he hell bent on using the name Threads. Every time I hear it makes me think of the Dragon Riders or Pern. Not messaging app. Fuck Meta hope the real Threads company wins.

Harper, strike, and soldier, go.
Free the flame and sear the grasses
Till the dawning Red Star passes."
