Twitter alleges ‘unauthorised’ data use by Microsoft
that Microsoft violated an agreement over using the social media company’s data.
In a letter, Twitter owner Elon Musk’s lawyer levelled accusations of “unauthorised” usage of Twitter’s data by Microsoft, including sharing data with government agencies without permission in some cases., asked the tech giant to conduct an audit of its use of Twitter’s content. Twitter did not immediately respond to a request for comment.As per Twitter’s agreement, the social media company enforces rate limits on use of its application programming interface for all developers.
A Microsoft spokesman said the company on Thursday heard from a law firm representing Twitter with some questions about its previous use of the free Twitter APIs. “We will review these questions and respond appropriately. We look forward to continuing our long-term partnership with the company.” Twitter’s accusations come at a time when Elon Musk is at odds with Microsoft over its artificial intelligence platform. Musk said in April he will launch AI platform TruthGPT to challenge the offerings from Microsoft and Google.He has criticised Microsoft-backed OpenAI, the firm behind chatbot sensation ChatGPT, of “training the AI to lie” and said OpenAI has now become a “closed source”, “for-profit” organisation that is “closely allied with Microsoft”.
