Some of Twitter’s source code, the central computer code that makes the social network work, got out on the internet.
Some of Twitter’s source code, which is the main computer code that makes the social network work, was leaked online, the company said in a legal filing on Sunday. The New York Times was the first to report on this.
The legal document filed with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California says that Twitter asked GitHub, an online service for hosting software development, to remove the code from where it was posted. According to the filing, the platform agreed and said the content had been taken down. Twitter also asked the court to find out who posted Twitter’s source code on systems run by GitHub without getting permission from Twitter.
Based in San Francisco, Twitter said in the filing that the posts violated its copyrights.
The leak gives billionaire Elon Musk more problems. Last October, he bought Twitter for $44 billion and turned it into a private company. Since then, it has been in chaos, with many people losing their jobs and many advertisers leaving.
A congressional report says that the Federal Trade Commission is looking into Musk’s mass firings at Twitter and trying to get his internal communications as part of its ongoing review of the social media company’s privacy and cybersecurity practices.
