UK has a fairer legal system overall, but Meta will delay, delay, delay to avoid accountability and keep using the Threads name for the next umpteen years, and at some point the original owner of the trademark will settle for a nice payday (though nothing like what they'd win if they beat Meta's team of lawyers... which won't happen).

What??? I suppose it depends on certain contexts, but I wouldn't say overall. Super injuctions are a very obvious one. Also, just lack of constitutional protections.
