Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>The popular American social media platform is already facing legal pressure, with Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk subpoenaing the company\u2019s founder Jack Dorsey over a botched buyout deal in the spring which failed to materialize.<\/p>\n

Peiter Zatko, the high-profile ex-hacker hired by Twitter to lead the company\u2019s security operations in late 2020, has filed a massive whistleblower disclosure accusing the company of overlooking \u201cextreme, egregious deficiencies\u201d in its anti-hacking defenses, a virtually non-existent battle against spam, systematic double-dealing and rapacious corporate greed.<\/p>\n

Zatko, 51, known in the industry as \u2018Mudge\u2019, was fired by Twitter in January, with the company initially providing no information as to why he was let go, and then saying he was ousted due to \u201cpoor performance and leadership.
\nIn his redacted complaint, sent to Congress and federal agencies in July and uploaded in PDF form by the Washington Post on Tuesday, the programmer accused company officials of utterly and recklessly mismanaging the platform.<\/p>\n

The whistleblower alleges that the company as a whole, CEO Parag Agrawal and other senior executives and members of the board of directors have spent more than a decade engaging in \u201cextensive, repeated, uninterrupted violations of the Federal Trade Commission Act by making false and misleading statements to users and the FTC about, inter alia, the Twitter platform\u2019s security, privacy, and integrity.
\nAdditionally, Zatko accuses Twitter of violating federal corporate watchdog rules on auditing requirements, \u201cfraudulent and material misrepresentations in communications with the Board of Directors and investors, constituting securities law violations,\u201d and \u201cnegligence and even complicity with respect to efforts by foreign governments to infiltrate, control, exploit, surveil and\/or censor the company\u2019s platform, staff and operations.
\nAccording to the complaint, Zatko prepared a comprehensive report on the company\u2019s security, privacy and integrity problems for the board of directors in early 2021, but was instructed not to send it.<\/p>\n

Later the same year, he reportedly \u201cwitnessed senior executives engaging in deceitful and\/or misleading communications affecting Board members, users and shareholders.
\nZatko accused Agrawal of instructing him to provide security-related documents which \u201cboth of them knew to be false and misleading,\u201d and charged the CEO with lying about the security officer\u2019s efforts to rectify fraud before his termination.<\/p>\n

The disclosure included what Zatko\u2019s lawyers characterized as a \u201crecent example of misrepresentation by Twitter\u201d related to Elon Musk\u2019s attempted takeover of the company.<\/p>\n

After a query by Musk regarding the company\u2019s anti-spam policy, and its claim that less than five percent of users were spam bots, Agrawal assured the businessman that the company considers spam bots harmful and is \u201cstrongly incentivized to detect and remove as much spam as we possibly can, every single day.<\/p>\n

Zatko characterized Musk\u2019s suspicions as being \u201con target,\u201d alleging that \u201csenior executives earn bonuses not for cutting spam, but for growing MDAU [Monetizable Daily Active Users].<\/p>\n

In fact, Twitter created the MDAU metric precisely to avoid having to honestly answer the very questions Mr. Musk raised. \u201d The complaint also characterized Twitter as a leaky sieve of a company constantly suffering security incidents.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 2020 alone, Twitter had more than 40 security incidents, 70% of which were access control-related. These included 20 incidents defined as breaches; all but two of which were access control related,\u201d the document said.<\/p>\n

Zatko also provided an extensive series of other problems, from a bungling board and a CEO disengaged from security matters, to a lack of support, perverse bonus payout schemes, failures to block hateful terms and slurs from ad targeting, lack of computer backup systems, deficient moderation, unlicensed machine learning materials in core algorithms, misleading regulators in some countries, and suspected \u201cpenetration by foreign intelligence and threats to democracy.
\nThe latter included allegations by the whistleblower that the Indian government had made demands for the company to hire government agents, as well as claims of dependence on revenues coming from Chinese entities, and complaints about the company\u2019s consent to Russian information laws.<\/p>\n

Twitter has long been accused of systemic bias against pro-Trump conservatives, free speech activists and certain foreign governments. The social media giant censored a story on incriminating materials contained on Hunter Biden\u2019s laptop during the 2020 election, and banned the former president from the platform following the January 6, 2021 Capitol riots.<\/p>\n

Russian, Venezuelan, and Iranian government and media accounts have been targeted for deletion and censorship, with many slapped with notices about their \u201cstate-affiliated\u201d status, and their posts moderated with occasional \u201cKnow the Facts\u201d and \u201cviolation of Twitter rules\u201d notices related to supposed \u201cmisinformation.<\/p>\n
