The former security chief revealed his concern about how Twitter handled data, alleging that too many employees had access to sensitive systems and user data. Peiter Zatko also claimed that Twitter underestimated how many fake and spam accounts are on its platform. The accusations could affect a legal battle between Twitter and billionaire Elon Musk, who is trying to cancel his $44bn deal to buy the company. On fake and spam accounts, he said that “deliberate ignorance was the norm” at the tech company, and accused Twitter executives of having little incentive to accurately identify how many there really are on its platform. Is Elon Musk making Twitter lose on its popularity ?
