So absolutely nothing of substance about the below allegations from the lawsuit, which means they're probably true, since the response is all empty platitudes and grandstanding.
>Additionally, X Corp. alleges that the CCDH gained “unauthorized” access to Twitter’s data through Brandwatch, a software company that lets customers monitor brands on social media. Instead of working directly with Brandwatch, the lawsuit claims the CCDH obtained the login details for another customer’s Brandwatch account, allowing them to access the service without the knowledge of Twitter or Brandwatch. Brandwatch did not respond to The Verge’s request for comment.
- FireBeyond 3y agoWhere is X's standing to sue CCDH? If CCDH obtained login info for a Brandwatch account that's an issue between CCDH, Brandwatch, and that account owner. Is Brandwatch suing CCDH? If not, why not? Is X suing Brandwatch? If not, why not?
- rideontime 3y agoIs this meant to make us sympathize with Twitter? Since when does anybody care about TOS when it comes to publicly available data?
- isx726552 3y agoI agree, who seriously cares if CCDH used someone else’s account login (presumably with their permission) to gather their info? If that’s all Twitter (“X”) has, that’s some pretty weak sauce. CCDH seems to be right that this is just a silencing tactic, and one which seems to be having the opposite effect (a.k.a., the Streisand Effect) in that I for one never would have heard of CCDH if it weren’t for this lawsuit.
