@chargrille@progressives.social to @maxkennerly #Bluesky, which directly competes with Twitter, hired Twitter employees & all 3 Board members worked at Twitter. Bluesky clearly relied on Twitter IP, confidential information, & possibly TS, to accelerate its development. The attraction to its users is that it is basically a copycat clone of Twitter - but Musk has never made a peep about it. And never will. That should tell us something very important about Bluesky. Jul 06, 2023, 14:21 - Edited Jul 06, @chargrille to @maxkennerly It's also yet another reason why Musk is unlikely to ever prevail in any misappropriation claims against #Meta for #threads. Musk never objected to such misappropriation by #Bluesky & clearly consented to the use of any proprietary info or TS that Jack & his employees acquired at Twitter. As an aside, it's so predictable that Quinn Emanuel would rep Musk in this ridiculousness.

Failure to protect against misappropriation is an affirmative defense in CA.
Dorsey had duty to keep Twitter's TSs. "It is misappropriation to disclose or use another’s trade secret, knowing or having reason to know, that...the trade secret was acquired under circumstances giving rise to a duty to maintain its secrecy or limit its use, or was derived from or through a person who owed a duty to maintain its secrecy or limit its use. (Cal. Civ. Code, §§ 3426.1(b)(2)(B)(ii) and (iii).)"
