At the same time, Zatko said CEO Agrawal spoke about spambots on Twitter on May 17, 2022. Regarding the thread, he points out that 'CEO Agrawal is lying.'



CNN's Donnie O'Sullivan published on Twitter the contents of the email sent by CEO Agrawal to Twitter employees about these whistleblowing.



Agrawal introduced whistleblower Zatko as ``a former Twitter executive who was fired in January 2022 due to ineffective leadership and poor performance.'' In addition, although it is investigating the article reporting the whistleblower complaint by Mr. Zatko, it is described as ``full of contradictions and inaccuracies, and false content that ignores important context.'' I was responsible in many ways when I was working at Twitter, but now, more than six months after being fired, I'm making inaccurate statements, so it's frustrating and confusing to read articles. I understand,' he said.

The spokesperson added, 'Zatko's allegations and opportunistic timing appear intended to draw public attention and harm Twitter, its users and shareholders. Security and privacy are important to Twitter. It has been a priority for many years and will continue to be so.'

However, CEO Agrawal has not clarified at the time of writing the article which part of the content Mr. Zatko has accused is false.
