Another major controversy erupted around Twitter after a whistleblower revealed that the social media giant had lied to regulators about spam accounts. Elon Musk had charged Twitter with withholding material information about the $44 billion transaction.
Peiter Zatko, Twitter’s former security chief, reportedly told Reuters that the company allegedly fabricated its hackers and spam accounts’ data. He claimed that Twitter management lacked the tools necessary to determine the precise amount of bots present across the various networks. He emphasizes that they take too long to obtain the information.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Department of Justice, and the Federal Trade Commission all received Zatko’s complaint last month.
According to the report, the former security chief for Twitter declined to react when asked for comment. elon musk
