Ex-Twitter engineer says he quit years ago after refusing to help sell identifiable user data, worries Elon Musk will 'do far worse things with data'
Krenzel said he worked with the data science team"to find a granularity" that would still"preserve anonymity even when combined with other sources of data."
After presenting an alternative, Krenzel said the telco company"didn't like it and were frustrated," as was Twitter's sales team. He said he was then asked to go to the telco's headquarters, and that"the subsequent request was absurd." Krenzel said he would never help sell"granular identifiable" user data, but Twitter's legal team told him the telco company's request was"fine" and that it didn't violate Twitter users' terms of service.
