Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>Twitter has alleged that Microsoft violated an agreement over using the social media company\u2019s data. In a letter, Twitter owner Elon Musk\u2019s lawyer levelled accusations of \u201cunauthorised\u201d usage of Twitter\u2019s data by Microsoft, including sharing data with government agencies without permission in some cases.<\/p>\n

In the letter addressed to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, Musk\u2019s lawyer, Alex Spiro, asked the tech giant to conduct an audit of its use of Twitter\u2019s content.<\/p>\n

Twitter did not immediately respond to a request for comment. As per Twitter\u2019s agreement, the social media company enforces rate limits on use of its application programming interface (API) for all developers.<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite these limitations, the Microsoft apps accessed Twitter\u2019s APIs over 780 million times and retrieved over 26 billion tweets in 2022 alone,\u201d the letter said.<\/p>\n

A Microsoft spokesman said the company on Thursday heard from a law firm representing Twitter with some questions about its previous use of the free Twitter APIs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will review these questions and respond appropriately. We look forward to continuing our long-term partnership with the company. \u201d<\/p>\n

Twitter\u2019s accusations come at a time when Elon Musk is at odds with Microsoft over its artificial intelligence platform. Musk said in April he will launch AI platform TruthGPT to challenge the offerings from Microsoft and Google.<\/p>\n

He has criticised Microsoft-backed OpenAI, the firm behind chatbot sensation ChatGPT, of \u201ctraining the AI to lie\u201d and said OpenAI has now become a \u201cclosed source\u201d, \u201cfor-profit\u201d organisation that is \u201cclosely allied with Microsoft\u201d. He has also accused Larry Page, co-founder of Google, of not taking AI safety seriously.<\/p>\n
