#SocialMedia #Twitter #Privacy #DataProtection: "The sister of an imprisoned Saudi dissident filed suit against Twitter on Tuesday, arguing that it broke the law by letting employees reveal his identity to Saudi agents who then arrested him.

The novel case, filed under the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations statute, cites repeated security failures that allowed the informants working for Twitter to send information about thousands of anonymous users to the Saudi regime while royal funds were invested in the company, becoming one of its largest shareholders.

The case was filed in the Northern District of California by U.S. citizen Areej al-Sadhan on her own behalf and that of her brother, Abdulrahman al-Sadhan, who is jailed in Saudi Arabia under a 20-year prison sentence for supporting terrorism and prejudicing public order."
