I guess they can always sue over infringed patents?

Another social media site owned by a giant corporation? Please no.

Why not build it as a non-profit foundation who's interests align with the users not the shareholders?

Does that matter when it can clone it today without the need to train on your specific code?

I wonder if it's injecting both through javascript to minimize breaking people's tests. Trying to reduce dealing with non-ascii characters and svg tags.
