US court asks Twitter to hand over data of spam, bots accounts to Musk: Report

A US court has ordered Twitter to hand over details about spam and bot accounts to Musk as part of its legal fight to make him complete the acquisition, Bloomberg reported.

Twitter has been asked to turn over information about 9,000 accounts it surveyed last year in hopes of identifying which were not bots. Twitter sought to deny Musk access to this “historical snapshot” on privacy and other grounds.

Twitter also “must produce documents sufficient to show how those 9,000 accounts were selected for review,” Bloomberg quoted the judge Kathaleen St. J McCormick.
