The claim is they used Twitter “trade secrets”. What could those possibly be? The concept is obviously not a secret. Unless they used Twitter’s algorithm or something I don’t see how this doesn’t get thrown out immediately.

Also, how do they know Threads uses trade secrets? Have they decompiled the app... I thought that's technically not strictly legal to do to a competitors program?
