Among the allegations are that Twitter misled investors about the number of spam and fake accounts on the platform, backing Elon Musk’s assertions, though Twitter says the whistleblower complaint is built on a “false narrative.”
Zatko, who is represented by the legal group Whistleblower Aid, alleged in the complaint published by theTwitter intentionally undercounted the proportion of “bots” or fake and spam accounts on its platform by incentivizing executives to pursue a policy of “deliberate ignorance,” Zatko alleged, referencing Elon Musk’s ongoing attempt to walk away from his $44 billion purchase of the company over his insistence that more than 5% of Twitter accounts were bots like the company maintains.
Zatko claimed Twitter has made repeated “false and misleading statements” to the FTC about its user security and privacy measures, and that he refused Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal’s instruction to present “false and misleading” documents to the company’s board, leading to Zatko’s firing . Among Zatko’s more contentious assertions is that the company knowingly hired an agent of the Indian government, giving a foreign government widespread access to user data.
