You would think that Twitter might have a coherent strategy in place for dealing with the media on this but no. They are trying to discredit Peiter Zatko by stating that he was terminated for performance reasons and yet their spokesperson goes onto to make these completely conflicting statements: From Twitter spokeswoman Rebecca Hahn: Hahn said that Twitter fired Zatko after 15 months “for poor performance and leadership.” Hahn added that Twitter has tightened up security extensively since 2020, that its security practices are within industry standards, and that it has specific rules about who can access company systems.[1] 2020 was of course the year that Zatko was hired by former CEO Dorsey. So security tightened up "extensively" on Zatko's watch but he was fired for "for poor performance and leadership"? This only seems to support Zatko's(and many others) assertion that Twitter is a giant shit show of chaos.

Twitter has a comms department but there has been a revolving door of ineffective comms leadership. I can't even get someone from Twitter Comms to pop into the Twitter subreddit to engage with users there. Rebecca Hahn doesn't even have a Twitter account afaik.

  That is rich. From July: >"Details: The communications lead role has been vacant since last November, but it's been led by Twitter CMO Leslie Berland on an interim basis for the past seven months. Hahn, who technically started last week, will report to Berland."[1] The VP of Global Communications at Twitter role was vacant for 7 months and the person finally hired doesn't seem to have a visible Twitter presence after 6 weeks on the job? At a time when the company is practically a daily news story? You couldn't make this shit up.
