US Senators Express Concerns Over Twitter and Elon Musk's Handling of Data Privacy

A group of Democratic senators have warned Twitter's top officials, including Elon Musk, that the company's data security and privacy may be at risk due to mass layoffs, lax internal privacy reviews, and the hasty revamp of the platform's subscription service. The senators voiced concern that Twitter may have violated a consent decree the company entered in 2011 with the Federal Trade Commission, which prevented the company from misleading users about the extent to which it safeguards user data over an ensuing 20-year period.
