Former Safety Employees: Indian agents inside Twitter

Just on the same day of Twitter's shareholders approved Musk's acquisition of the company's transaction, when Twitter's security supervisor was testified in the US Congress (pictured), Twitter had loopholes in the field of network security. US media analysis believes that as U.S. politicians are keen to politically politically, the wrestling between American Internet companies and politicians becomes more intense.

According to the US "Wall Street Journal" reported on the 13th, Pet Zartco, the security director of Twitter fired in January this year, recently reported to the US Congress, the Ministry of Justice and other institutions, claiming that Twitter was very easy to be used by foreign governments, threatening to threaten US national security. The United States CNN said that Zartco said at a hearing at the Judiciary of the US Senate on the 13th that "incentive measures for Twitter executives caused them to put profits on security." Just one week before he was fired, Twitter also received a warning from the Federal Investigation Agency (FBI), saying that the company had at least one Chinese agent. Zartco also claimed that at least one agent on behalf of the Indian government was collecting information from the Indian government. Zartco recalled that a company executive was not worried about possible spy threats at the time, saying that this risk was not worthwhile. For Zartco's allegations, Twitter responded that the above hearing showed that Zartco's allegations were "full of contradictions and mistakes." The company's recruitment process is not intervened by any foreign forces, and has adopted measures such as background investigation, permissions control and monitoring systems to protect data.

"Zartco has become a factor in the litigation drama caused by the Musk Twitter acquisition." The Wall Street Journal said that Musk tried to give up the transaction in July this year, which caused Twitter to prosecute. Musk subsequently proposed a counterclaim that Twitter was accused of unrealistic business status and falsely reported key data about its platform users. Not long ago, Musk was approved by the court and incorporated Zartco's allegations into counterclaim. On the day of the hearing on the 13th, Twitter approved Musk's acquisition plan.

The co -director of the Digital Economy and Financial Innovation Research Center of Zhejiang University, Pan and Lin on the 14th of the "Global Times" reporter that the game of Twitter has its own purposes. There may be a game of politics and business behind the current remarks, or there may be business games. After all, for a "flawed Twitter", it is reasonable to not acquire or lower the purchase price.

In recent years, as a world -renowned social media platform, Twitter has been controversial for problems such as false information inside. Some American issues told the Global Times reporter that Twitter is no longer a simple social media or commercial company and is deeply affected by politics. The involvement of the so -called "national security" problem in the acquisition case undoubtedly reflects that this concept is generalized within the United States. ▲
