Twitter seeks end to U.S. oversight of data use as FTC's Lina Kahn goes before House committee

https://www.ctvnews.ca/sci-tech/twit...ttee-1.6478235

Twitter wants a federal court to end an order imposed by the Federal Trade Commission that limits its data security practices.

The FTC has been watching the company for years since Twitter agreed to a 2011 consent order alleging serious data security lapses. But the agency's concerns spiked with the tumult that followed Elon Musk's Oct. 27 takeover of the company.

X Corp., now Twitter's corporate name, has filed a motion with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, for a protective order and relief from the consent order.
The order seeks a stay that would prevent the FTC from deposing Musk.
