Irish Data Protection Commissioner Helen Dixon, Twitter's top European regulator due to the location of its European headquarters in Dublin, said the service raises privacy concerns, particularly with regard to account verification to prevent users from posing as public figures.
“We are a bit more concerned this week as we see the blue tick subscription service being rolled out here in EU countries after we were assured it would not roll out in the EU and certainly not until there have been discussions with our office. . Dixon said in an interview.
Although no formal investigation has been launched, "we are in a heightened state of contact with Twitter," he said, describing consultation before a product launch as a "best practice."
In November, Dixon raised concerns about the impact of steep job cuts on Twitter's ability to meet its privacy obligations after billionaire Musk took over the previous month.
Twitter now has a "very strong" data protection officer, he said.
"But beyond the data protection office, there are clearly other forces at play. And we need to understand a little more about them," Dixon added.
