Saudis Recruited Twitter Workers to Spy on Users

“The Saudi government recruited two Twitter employees to get personal account information of their critics,” the AP reports.

“A complaint unsealed in U.S. District Court in San Francisco detailed a coordinated effort by Saudi government officials to recruit employees at the social media giant to look up the private data of thousands of Twitter accounts.”

“The accounts included those of a popular journalist with more than 1 million followers and other prominent government critics.”
