“That infringement threatens not just significant monetary damages, but the potential for injunctive relief that would threaten Twitter’s ongoing business as currently operated.”
This feels like an extremely important part of this story that no one is even discussing. What ended up happening here?
“Mr. Zatko alleges that:
Twitter’s platform is built in significant part on the misappropriation and infringement of third party intellectual property”

We know that Facebook came from Lifelog which was a DARPA project. I am sure the same is true for Twitter, Google, Amazon etc
Even if they didn't originally I have no doubt that they were perverted and propped up
As an experienced software engineer having seen all kinds of projects - big and small - I can tell you one thing. The implementation of the tech in Google and Amazon especially did not happen in a normal project. They had access to infinite money tap for one thing, and the tech took at least 20 years - I am specifically talking about Amazon AWS and Google search platform.
It took 20 years to build up the coding for a worldwide all-in-one online shopping center?
I am talking about AWS. Its probably the single most powerful tech that pretty much runs more than half of the Internet.
