Twitter Inc misled federal regulators about its security defenses and spam accounts, CNN and the Washington Post reported on Tuesday, citing whistleblower disclosures by the social media company's former security chief Peiter Zatko.
Twitter executives don't have the resources to fully understand the true number of bots on the platform, and were not motivated to, CNN reported, citing Zatko.
Musk has accused Twitter of hiding information about how it calculates the percentage of bots on the service. A trial is scheduled for October 17. Zatko did not immediately respond to Reuters' request for comment, while Musk could not be reached out for a comment.
