A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

So in legalese, it basically says "we are scared but not sure why. GRR!"

Yep. It also has phrases to convince laypeople otherwise. This letter wasn't written for the client. It was written for the news.

Good article. Knew the threat is bullshit but the author puts it in context.

The audience for this sort of letter is not the other side, still less the court, but the client itself – and perhaps the public and media.

Yep, it's to keep Twitter relevant and try to smear Threads as a competitor.

Great read thank you. Seems Twitter just blowing smoke.

Ah, ok. So it's basically the legal equivalent of Macho Man's cream of the crop promo? Got it
