I think I’d feel weird even if she doesn’t know about it. I’d also probably avoid calling her by her name just in case.
Twitter is threatening legal action against Meta over its new text-based “Twitter killer” platform, accusing the social media giant of poaching former employees to create a “copycat” application.
