New Twitter clone rebrands to Tweet.app after court ruling

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new social media platform, initially launched as Twitter.now by Operation Bluebird, has been forced to rebrand to Tweet.app following a court ruling.

The platform is currently accepting waitlist applicants, with over 172,000 users having already signed up for a reserved handle, and the trademark infringement case is still proceeding to trial. AI
