Lawyers Call for Investigation of Twitter's Alleged Complicity in Saudi Spying Before Allowing X Banking

Lawyers allege Twitter/X should be deemed "unfit" for banking due to alleged complicity in Saudi spying and human rights violations. They cite a lawsuit alleging Twitter shared user data that led to a Saudi activist's imprisonment.
The lawyers claim Twitter approved Saudi data requests "in droves" after learning of employee spying in 2016, allegedly to retain Saudi investment and market access.
Though the alleged spying predates Musk, lawyers say X's conduct merits investigation before allowing banking, or else Saudi Arabia could gain access to user financial data.
X has not commented but previously argued it was also a victim of employee spying. Lawyers dispute this, claiming evidence shows Twitter complicity.
The lawyers allege Twitter "sold its corporate soul" to secure Saudi investment and market access, compromising user data protections. They warn of high stakes if no investigation occurs before allowing X banking.
