Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>Some of the computer code that powers Twitter has been leaked online, according to a legal filing, in the latest challenge encountered by the social network since it was bought by Elon Musk.<\/p>\n

A user named in court documents as \u201cFreeSpeechEnthusiast\u201d allegedly shared parts of Twitter\u2019s source code on GitHub, an online platform used by software developers. Twitter filed a subpoena on Friday requesting GitHub identify the leaker who posted the code, in an alleged breach of copyright, and anyone who downloaded the code.<\/p>\n

A GitHub spokesman confirmed in an emailed statement that the company complied with a request from Twitter to take down the leaked code but would not comment further. Twitter did not respond to a request for comment Sunday night.<\/p>\n

It is unclear when the code was posted online or whether its leak exposes Twitter to security vulnerabilities or hackers. Twitter\u2019s takedown request to GitHub described it as \u201cproprietary source code for Twitter\u2019s platform and internal tools,\u201d while the legal filing called it \u201cvarious excerpts of Twitter source code.\u201d<\/p>\n

Musk said this month that Twitter would \u201copen source\u201d all of the software code it uses to recommend tweets on March 31.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople will discover many silly things, but we\u2019ll patch issues as soon as they\u2019re found!\u201d Musk wrote on March 18. \u201cProviding code transparency will be incredibly embarrassing at first, but it should lead to rapid improvement in recommendation quality. Most importantly, we hope to earn your trust.\u201d<\/p>\n

Twitter has been in a state of turbulence since Musk took over the company and cut thousands of jobs. The New York Times on Sunday was first to report on the legal filing with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.<\/p>\n
