Twitter’s whistleblower testifies before Senate committee
So, it’s not surprising that serious security breaches are happening within the company. The former head of security of the social media company testified that he “saw with high confidence” a foreign agent placed by the Indian government within the company to monitor Twitter’s negotiations with the government.
In his disclosure, he also stated that the FBI told Twitter that it suspected an employee was a foreign asset for the Chinese government. (In August, a former manager at Twitter was convicted of spying for Saudi Arabia.)
But Zatko said the company doesn’t make serious efforts to root out spies and that when he discussed a possible foreign agent with one company executive, the person responded, “Well, since we already have one, what is the problem if we have more?” (CNN)
Twitter has an enormous ability to spy on its members and usurp their privacy.
Patriotism is obviously lacking at Twitter because money is more important than country.
One day, these misdeeds could cumulatively cause us harm.
If not today, when?
