The FTC is going after journalists who were given access to the Twitter Files, demanding a list of names of journalists who Twitter granted access to, as part of the agency’s increasingly aggressive approach against the platform.
In a series of letters sent to Twitter by the FTC, the powerful regulatory body requested a swathe of information from the social media platform, including the names of the Twitter Files journalists, and Elon Musk’s personal communications.In its correspondence, the FTC claimed user privacy was one of its top concerns.
“We are concerned these staff reductions impact Twitter’s ability to protect consumers’ information,” wrote the FTC. Matt Taibbi, a journalist who published a number of the Twitter Files, pointed out that the Twitter Files disclosures proved the government made numerous improper requests for user data from Twitter, something the FTC seems less concerned about.
“While #TwitterFiles reporters neither asked for nor received access to private user data, the Files themselves are full of instances of government agencies improperly asking for the same,” said Taibbi.
