Most companies the size of Twitter would have a lot more controls than that on random employees' write access to production.
If I want to assume a user's identity in my employer's production system I have to fill out a form justifying it, get my manager's approval for each account accessed, and my activity is subject to logging.

- themaninthedark 4y agoRemember when an employee took down Trumps account? https://news.yahoo.com/rogue-twitter-employee-took-down-141953762.html https://news.yahoo.com/rogue-twitter-employee-took-down-1419... First it was "inadvertently deactivated due to human error by a Twitter employee." Then "Through our investigation we have learned that this was done by a Twitter customer support employee who did this on the employee’s last day." It was kinda funny but you would expect that they would learn and improve from it. Edit: Thank you siblings for showing that it has continued to happen. Obviously not lesson not learnt.
