The streaming daily data will compromise 500 million tweets posted every day. The company already gives access to a few companies to utilize the user’s data. These companies include those which need users’ data for the advertisement of their products and services. When Elon Musk claimed to see the spam and fake accounts (bot accounts) which are automated and may not be run by humans. They usually use direct messages and reply functions to send adverts to the users or are also influenced by tweeting political agendas. Twitter claimed that these accounts represent just 5% of the total 229 million user base. But Musk had doubts and he threatened the company that if they will not reveal the data, he will cancel the acquisition deal.
Elon Musk’s call for data on forged and fake accounts
The company wanted to keep the data of the users safe as is promised by the company and hence, wanted to ignore its request of Musk. But he believes that the company is actively resisting and thwarting his rights to reach the data and information under the agreement. Twitter says that refusing to present information to Musk is due to a “material breach” which has charges of 1 billion (break fee written in the deal). The company has doubts that Musk will walk away without paying the money. The legal threats from Musk are really shameful and the decision by Twitter to allow Musk to review the tweets has put a lack of trust among the users of Twitter.
