Congressional Republicans Subpoena FTC Over Musk’s Twitter: Privacy Investigation Heats Up

Hey there, Nuked here! Today’s news is a bit of a head-scratcher. It seems that Congressional Republicans have subpoenaed the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) over their ongoing privacy investigation into Elon Musk’s Twitter account. According to reports, the House Judiciary Committee has demanded all internal communications related to Musk’s purchase of Twitter back in October 2022.

Chair of the committee, Rep. Jim Jordan, has accused the FTC of making “inappropriate and burdensome demands” of Musk’s Twitter and failing to comply with previous requests for information. The investigation reportedly centers around Twitter’s ability to protect user data, which the platform had promised to do over 10 years ago as part of an agreement with the FTC.

It’s worth noting that since Musk took over Twitter, the FTC has sent at least a dozen demand letters to the company. However, the agency has stated that they have made multiple offers to brief Chairman Jordan’s staff on their investigation into Twitter and have called the subpoena “entirely unnecessary.”

It’s unclear what exactly prompted this move from Congressional Republicans or what they hope to achieve with this subpoena. However, it does highlight the ongoing concerns around data privacy and security in today’s digital landscape.
