Twitter.now launches, trying to bring back the blue bird

Technology

  • When Elon Musk renamed Twitter as X in 2022, a startup called Operation Bluebird argues, he abandoned the name and the bird logo.
  • It is led by Stephen Coates, who was Twitter's own head of trademark counsel before Musk bought the company.
  • A judge indicated in April that the trademarks may no longer be protected, so the group has now launched Twitter.now.
  • X is suing to stop it, though the app has only hundreds of users and an automated fact checker called 'Vera.'
