According to a legal document, Twitter Inc., owned by billionaire Elon Musk, is looking for the source code leaker.
According to the petition, a user entitled “FreeSpeechEnthusiast” released “different snippets” of Twitter’s source code, which runs the firm online, on Github, a Microsoft-owned platform for sharing software development code.
Github removed the code on Friday at Twitter’s request.
Twitter’s March 24 complaint requested that Github give “Any identifiable information” related to the ‘FreeSpeechEnthusiast’ user name.
Reuters asked Github if it had provided such information, but it did not answer. It didn’t say how long Twitter’s source code has been public.
Twitter did not immediately comment.
The NYT broke the news.
