Ireland’s Data Protection Commission said Friday it decided to start a probe over reports that one or more datasets of users’ personal information “had been made available on the internet.”
The Irish authority said that after discussions with Twitter on the matter, it considers"one or more provisions" of the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation may have been — and may continue to be — infringed. The authority is the lead watchdog for some of Silicon Valley’s biggest tech firms that have set up an EU base in the country. Under GDPR, it wields the power to levy fines of as much as 4% of a company’s annual sales.
Since Musk’s takeover in October, he warned that Twitter is at risk of bankruptcy and instituted what he called a"hardcore" work environment after a drastic cutback in staff. In less than two months at the helm, he has spooked advertisers, alienated Twitter’s most ardent creators and turned the service from a forum for news discussion into a trending topic in itself.
The company this week resolved a dispute with a top executive who was shut out of the firm’s IT system after failing to respond within hours to a company-wide email from Musk asking staff if they were onboard with the new “Twitter 2.0.”
