US lawmakers ask Twitter to outline privacy compliance

Four U.S. senators wrote Twitter Executive Chair Elon Musk and CEO Linda Yaccarino probing the company leaders on privacy practices and compliance with a 2011 U.S. Federal Trade Commission consent decree, CNN reports. Sens. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., Ed Markey, D-Mass., Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, called for details on required privacy and security assessments prior to Twitter Blue's rollout and whether the platform maintained its privacy program after Musk took over control of the company October 2022.
