Adafruit Pauses Blog After Demand Letter From Flux.ai's Lawyers

Longtime Slashdot reader Matt_Bennett shares a blog post from Adafruit: Adafruit received at p.m. ET on May 22, 2026 a letter from former FBI chief of staff, Jonathan F. Lenzner, and partner at Fenwick & West LLP, counsel for Flux, demanding, among other things, that Adafruit refrain from publishing an article addressing what the letter characterizes as false and potentially defamatory claims about Flux, including statements about Flux's intellectual property, commercial traction and user base. The letter further asserts claims under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.
