“Lawsuit says network discloses user data at request of Saudi authorities at much higher rate than for US, UK and Canada”
Would you all read the fucking article? Yes, Elon sucks and is tanking Twitter, but all this is from stuff that happened in 2015, long before he bought Twitter.

Not surprising to anyone who remembers that the saudis gave Elon the money needed to buy Twitter. Naturally they have an anti democratic interest in it

The article isn’t about Musk

Correct. This is largely for a time pre Musk.

The statement is still true, though? They got value out of it previously so they would be happy to float money to Elon to keep it useful for them.

No, but it establishes how useful a tool a Twitter you control is to crushing dissent. Which explains why they helped Musk buy it - as bad as Twitter’s previous management may have been, they at least tried to appear honorable. Musk is really leaning into the authoritarian bootlicker thing, so I’m sure he’s eager to get Tesla programmers in there to find new ways to hunt down dissidents.
