The complaint, filed by the former Twitter head of security Peiter Zatko, alleges that Twitter had"extreme, egregious deficiencies" in its security practices and failed to take sufficient measures to protect its hundreds of millions of users.Zatko's most serious accusations include that Twitter violated its 2011 settlement with the Federal Trade Commission when it falsely claimed it had a security plan, according to a copy of the complaint acquired by the Washington Post.
The vulnerabilities revealed allowed at least one hacker to access several celebrities' accounts, including that of former President Barack Obama, to try and request bitcoin from users, he said. Twitter also had been forced to put an agent of the Indian government on its payroll, according to Zatko.

I struggle to see how a social media company like Twitter becomes a national security risk. Yeah right.. They want to operate like an independent entity in every country, irrespective of local laws or sovereign countries and this won't fly as Twitter has enormous power in social discourse & narratives.
