There's just something fucking hilarious about laying off employees, mocking them, and being sued for improperly firing them -- and then whining that your competitor hired them and that they have access to Twitter information still.

I believe this fits well under the "fuck around and find out" doctrine.

How dare you hire the people I fired and made fun of jobs and put them on a similar site and put me out of business

I disagree. Regina George would have them at her mercy because she was a genius and not just a random dude pretending to be.

It's all in the contract... in the event of termination, Twitter reserves the right to perform electroshock therapy on you in your exit interview until your memory of this employment is removed. It's boilerplate.
