In the filing, lawyers for Twitter alleged the agency was \u201cimposing new and burdensome demands and treating the Consent Order as a license for invasive scrutiny of any move X Corp. makes, no matter how remote from the data privacy and security concerns.\u201d Elon Musk changed the legal name of Twitter to X. Corp.<\/p>\n<p>In his opening remarks, House Judiciary Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, cited work by his Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government alleging targeted harassment of Twitter, noting the committee found that the FTC issued more than 350 requests for information from Twitter, including communications about Musk.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is outrageous. This is unacceptable. And it\u2019s the kind of behavior that occurs in banana republics, not in the United States of America,\u201d Jordan said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Specifically, Jordan has targeted the FTC for requesting communications between Twitter and journalists who were given access to internal Twitter data.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTwitter has sensitive data on 150 million Americans, including private messages,\u201d said Khan. \u201cWe need to make sure, especially given the history going all the way back to 2010, that we\u2019re doing everything to make sure Twitter\u2019s complying with [the consent order].\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jordan also brought up Twitter\u2019s claims that an employee at a firm auditing Twitter alleged in a deposition that the FTC had predetermined the outcome of its privacy investigation. Khan said she was unfamiliar with those claims, saying the commission is \u201csquarely focused on the privacy and security implications of any decisions that have been made.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Twitter entered into a consent decree over privacy violations in 2011. Last year, prior to Musk\u2019s ownership, Twitter agreed to pay $150 million to settle a case with the FTC and Department of Justice that found Twitter violated its 2011 consent decree by misleading users about how it was using phone numbers collected to verify their accounts.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats defended Khan\u2019s work and the agency\u2019s investigation into Twitter.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cProtecting user privacy is not political. Rushing to defend the company at all costs, and investigating the agency that attempts to hold that count that company accountable, merely because the new owner shares your political views, is another matter,\u201d says Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y.<\/p>\n<p>The FTC recently opened an investigation into OpenAI over whether the company has violated consumer protection laws and mishandled user data, The Washington Post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/technology\/2023\/07\/13\/ftc-openai-chatgpt-sam-altman-lina-khan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">first reported<\/a> Thursday. The demand for records asks about an incident earlier this year in which OpenAI exposed some users\u2019 chat history. The investigation adds to a growing push by the agency <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/ftc-algorithm-disgorgement-ai-regulation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">to crack down on the companies\u2019 misuse of data in AI products<\/a> and is the first major investigation of an AI firm.<\/p>\n<p><\/body> <\/p>\n<footer class=\"single-article__footer\">\n<div
