The social medias are buzzing with news of Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey’s less-than-enthused response after receiving a follow request from Mark Zuckerberg on the Meta-owned Threads platform.
In recent weeks, Twitter has found itself facing a formidable rival in Meta’s Threads.
The launch of Threads on July 6th left many internet users both puzzled and curious about this new social media app.
Threads, a text-based extension of Instagram, bears some similarities to Twitter.
Many users have expressed frustration with the long-standing Twitter app, citing changes implemented by Elon Musk as a contributing factor.
Twitter’s dissatisfaction with Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta reaches a point where legal action may be on the horizon.
Twitter alleges that Meta has engaged in the unauthorized use of Twitter’s trade secrets and intellectual property, leading to “serious concerns.”
Twitter’s lawyer, Alex Spiro, stated, “Twitter intends to strictly enforce its intellectual property rights and demands that Meta immediately cease using any Twitter trade secrets or highly confidential information.”
Mark Zuckerberg’s Attempt to Befriend Jack Dorsey
Despite the tension between Twitter and Meta, Mark Zuckerberg appears to be extending an olive branch to former Twitter executives.
It’s worth noting that there was a time when Elon Musk wasn’t a prominent figure in the Twitter sphere, and Jack Dorsey, Twitter’s co-founder and former CEO, held the reins during that era.
Recently, Jack Dorsey, known for his active presence on social media, shared a screenshot on his new platform, Threads, revealing a follow request from Mark Zuckerberg.
This image brings two things to light. Firstly, Dorsey is unafraid to explore other platforms after his departure from Twitter.
Secondly, Zuckerberg’s request might indicate an attempt to reconcile with former adversaries.
Dorsey’s Firm Rejection and Twitter’s Support
However, Dorsey’s response made it clear that he has no intention of accepting Zuckerberg’s follow request. Taking to Twitter, Dorsey expressed his thoughts with a succinct “Too soon b.”
The comment section flooded with users echoing Dorsey’s sentiment, while some even suggested that he should block his former rival.
Interestingly, a few pointed out that the follow request might be accepted in the future.
In conclusion, the social media landscape continues to be rife with drama and rivalry as Mark Zuckerberg extends a follow request to Jack Dorsey on the Threads platform.
Despite potential legal battles between Twitter and Meta, it seems Dorsey is not ready to bury the hatchet just yet.
The story serves as a reminder that even in the fast-paced world of social media, tensions and rivalries persist among industry giants.
