Twitter Inc.’s main European Union privacy watchdog said it’s “very concerned” about the ability of Elon Musk’s social media giant to abide by EU laws following an exodus of staff and news last week that a senior executive in Dublin had to go to court to avoid losing her job.
Twitter’s top data watchdog in the EU said it contacted the company on Monday, seeking answers to a number of questions and assurances about its continued compliance with EU law.
“We are very concerned about what we’re reading in the media,” Graham Doyle, deputy commissioner at the authority, said by phone. “We have written to Twitter this morning again, seeking answers.” He was referring to reports in RTE that Sinead McSweeney, Twitter’s global vice president for public policy, was granted an injunction after telling an Irish court that she was treated as if she no longer worked for the company.
