In a recent court filing, Twitter revealed its intention to subpoena Senator Elizabeth Warren as part of its ongoing legal battle to terminate a consent order with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) related to data breaches. The social media platform, under the leadership of Elon Musk, has undergone significant cost-cutting measures, including employee layoffs, raising concerns about its ability to comply with the FTC's consent order.

Twitter filed a request last week to scrap the consent order, alleging bias and overreach by the FTC in federal court filings in San Francisco. Following the layoffs, Senator Warren, along with other Democratic senators, had urged the agency to investigate Twitter's privacy policies and consider enforcement actions against executives if deemed necessary.

The court filing specified that the subpoena issued to Senator Warren seeks communications related to Twitter or its owner Elon Musk between her office and both the FTC and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

At the time of this report, there has been no immediate response from Senator Warren's office or the SEC regarding the subpoena. The FTC declined to comment on the matter. Twitter, following its standard practice, responded to a request for comment by sending a poop emoji.
