I agree that this is important news but what does it have to do with technology?
Dude had an anonymous birdsite account with about a dozen followers, all they did was retweet stuff critical of the government, and somehow the government identified him and sentenced him to death over this. How did they find this info? Twitter outright gave it to them, therefore they became accomplices in a death.
Seems to be VERY tech related.
What’s the law in Saudi Arabia? Can they demand that information and companies be required to comply?
Or look who helped Musk finance his Twitter buyout. Laws are of little importance to a King.
meh. Imo not really.
Loosely connected at best.

I guess it could be argued that it’s because twittX or lemmy are technology but that’s a very weak argument.

That's the same justification Redditors used to spam /r/technology with everything BUT technology, as long as it was vaguely related.

Like I said, it’s a very weak argument.
