- Because part of Twitter's settlement restricts internal access to user data, giving journalists access to internal Twitter systems was most likely a violation of the settlement.
- Furthermore, the FTC has requested information about the revamped Twitter Blue subscription service, which one employee claimed ignored the company's standard privacy and security review.
- "There is no logical reason why the FTC, on the basis of user privacy, needs to analyze all of Twitter's personnel decisions.
- And there is no logical reason why the FTC needs every single internal Twitter communication about Elon Musk."
