From the article: "The vigorous push also appears to include the grooming — not previously reported — of a Saudi employee at Twitter whom Western intelligence officials suspected of spying on user accounts to help the Saudi leadership."
Seems like potentially a big deal.

- happy_joe 8y agoThe guy stayed in Twitter for 2 years before getting fired. It's rumored he was targeted after a team from Misk (MBS personal NGO) visited Twitter HQ in 2014/15 and discovered a Saudi working there. The fact "they could not find evidence that he had handed over Twitter data to the Saudi government", yet they fired him AND notified some accounts that they could have targeted by a state-sponsored actor is ridiculous. He went back to work in Misk. That definitely says something.
