    Huh. This isn’t some dirtbag domain squatter, either. This is a ten year old company with a serious, legitimate claim. Plus, their services are easily similar enough to create marketplace confusion, which is a major factor in trademark cases.

    This doesn’t help, either:

    It appears that Meta was aware of Threads before launching its platform of the same name. Company lawyers made four offers to purchase the domain ‘threads.app’ from Threads Software Ltd from April 2023, all of which were declined.

    Zuck fucked up.

      He didn’t “fuck up” so much as think he was big enough to bully the legal issue away.

      They did it with the word “meta” here’s hoping they don’t get away with it a second time.
