I think so too. It was clear from Trumps effort to build his own that that approach doesn’t work. You have to take something that has free thinkers in it already and gradually pervert the whole thing, hoping that enough of them will follow.
I had my “Musk gets European prison time” money on Germany getting him for bolstering Nazi shit on Twitter, but this is an interesting twist.
Can he get jail time for this? Everything that happened with this happened in 2014-2015 when Dorsey was in charge not in the last year.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The new legal filing comes days after Human Rights Watch condemned a Saudi court for sentencing a man to death based solely on his Twitter and YouTube activity, which it called an “escalation” of the government’s crackdown on freedom of expression.
After Abouammo resigned in May 2015, he continued to contact Twitter to field requests he was receiving from Bader al-Asaker, a senior aide of Mohammed bin Salman, for the identity of confidential users.
The lawsuit also alleges that Twitter had “ample notice” of security risks to internal personal data, and that there was a threat of insiders illegally accessing it, based on public reporting at the time.
Between July and December 2015, Twitter granted the kingdom information requests “significantly more often” than most other countries at that time, including Canada, the UK, Australia, and Spain, the lawsuit alleges.
Twitter would later notify users who had been exposed, telling them their data “may” have been targeted, but did not provide more specific information about the scale or certainty that the breach had, in fact, occurred.
Dorsey met with bin Salman about six months after the company was made aware of the issue by the FBI, and the two discussed how to “train and qualify Saudi cadres”.
