Could they not argue that Threads was removed from FB because they refused to sell the domain or violated some TOC and not because of user confusion?

- munk-a 3y agoThat first argument just sounds like bullying and may be anti-competitive business practices. IANAL but I think refusing a specific person's access to your product specifically because they refused to sign a separate contract with you would be seen as a pretty clear case of you abusing your market control and probably some form of coercion. I'd love to see FB declare that - but it's much more likely they'd stick to "Oh, violated our TOS for some reason".

I apologize, it seems our employees were ever so vigilant but didn't know your app is a thing. An innocent false positive, nothing more."
- battles 3y agoThose reasons sound even worse.
- hellojesus 3y agoIt's not necessary to sound better. All you need to do is win a legal battle.
- anigbrowl 3y agoYou're not going to win by undermining the foundations of your own argument, but don't mind me - please pitch this to Meta's legal department.
