Amusing that Twitter's cease and desist notice claims that Meta is using its "trade secrets". Lmfao what trade secrets? Twitter has no unique technology or patents. Their whole business position is nothing more than first mover advantage for their format of social media.
That's why they've never made money. They don't have any novel IP or "trade secrets" to leverage in the first place.
Say what you want about Meta, but at least they have a whole ad platform that they created that competes with Google Ad Sense, and is an actual asset.
That's... Patently not true. Twitter, has come up with many novel innovations while running their site. If you look at their engineering blog, there's tons of information about the work they do. Not to mention, many of their scaling concerns have become staple system design interview questions (e.g. "the celebrity problem")
Now, as a business...? Yeah, they never quite took off there.
